The Poetry is in the Pity

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2009

If anything ever displays war as the tragedy it is,this true story of the First World War shows it above all others.It is movingly told and all the more potently and memorably because so many of the author's relatives were killed during it in the flowering of their manhood while the dew of youth was still on their brow.
Now in the ranks of death and now only names inscribed in marble in some sad shires it breaks the heart to know these same young men sang songs together and played a game of football across no-mans land before the rifles,cannons,and machine guns rattled out death to hundreds of thousands of them on both sides.My grandfather was killed at Ypres,my father was badly scarred and lost the right side of his face,his nose and right eye in the Second World War at Cassino and I was slightly wounded myself when I saw service with the Argylls in Berlin during the so called Cold War.The tears sprang to my eyes while reading this book,I could not stop either sobbing or reading,at its end there was both.Dulce et decorum este pro patria Mori.What gross untruths that sent innocent men to their deaths.

Outstretched Hand

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 June 2004

A wonderful outstretched hand as an offer of peace between our two countries. I bought WARGAME several years ago at Heathrow and was immediately captured by the gentleness and love in this book of Foreman's. Having often suffered for many years from the "image" of the brutish German that was persistently rendered in all comics and most other publications available to children, I was very moved to see that a British illustrator depicted the German boys and men playing football with their "Tommy"-counterparts looking just as normal and pleasant as the Britons. A subtle and important way to make peace in our wonderful, hopeful, interesting new United Europe.
Some time later I got to meet Mr. Foreman, and he lived up to the expectations formed by his book: a great gentleman with an overwhelming kindness. He certainly is not in the world to further cement stereotypes of whatever kind.
A European Championship currently under way or the next World Championships would be a doubly healthy moment to read this book or to give it away as a present.

A moderate interesting faction book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2002

War Game Book Review
I think that this book is aimed at 8 to 12 year olds.
The subject of this story was an excellent choice by Michael Foreman, as it shows that in the war, the soldiers were not really enemies and were forced to fight. It also proves that despite the fact that that time was dominated by war, they could still have some fun with a game of football. In a situation like this it is a good thing that it is faction.
In this story there are lots of pictures, which, as most relate to the story, are valuable assets. There is large print and combined with the few pages make this book very light reading and a good way to kill ten minutes. The paragraphs are miniscule as well.
I conclude that this book is definitely best for 8 to 12 year olds. Although it should be sold in many places, I would not buy it, it is still a good book.
By Benjamin.
