Beschreibung

<p><b>An Ice-Cream War is William Boyd's sparkling debut novel on the grimly comic side of conflict, published as a Penguin Essential for the first time.</b><br><br><i>'What do you think would happen if I shot an elephant in the balls?'<br>'I think it would hurt a great deal.'<br></i><br>Millions die on the Western Front but in East Africa a quite different war is being waged - one with little point and which is so ignored that it will carry on after the Armistice because no one bothers to tell both sides to stop.<br><br>As the conflict sweeps up natives and colonials, so those left at home and those fighting abroad find themselves unable to escape the tide of history bearing down on them.</p>
