It is difficult for someone to understand in peacetime how a war can affect every aspect of life. Gottlieb is a foundling, traveling through burning Germany in the 1630s with a mercenary army. The Thirty Years’ War has the land in its grip. The soldiers kill and pillage at the behest of continually changing masters. There is no end to the war in sight. But Gottlieb retains his humanity. He deserts the army and finds a new home in Ulm. As scribe to the city council he witnesses something no one dared to hope for: the peace treaties of 1648. A historical story which presents the most important aspects of this complex war, making the experience of living through war intelligible for young readers.
