Back to War

With regards to suitable novels for war genre study, thought back to what I had taught to Stages 4 and 5 and remembered 'Goodnight Mr. Tom' and 'On the Beach'. There are also such perennials as those that deal with apocalpytic themes such as 'Children of the Dust', 'Taronga' and 'Tomorrow When the War Began'. Some sites give an excellent overview of the ways in which war themes have changed over time. Some of the best are listed below for you to take a look at and file for future use.
