6/30/2023 0 Comments Shot at Dawn by John Wilson![]() ![]() ![]() The writing is immaculate in the way it describes the monstrosities that soldiers must experience. The author nails the essence of a tempestuous period. I found the gore manageable, and the sadness wasn’t enough for me to stop reading, and if you can get past that, the book is great. In my opinion, a mature 14-year-old could read it, but not without a certain degree of dejection. One of the first things to note about this book is that it has the capacity to disturb anyone who is uncomfortable with gore and sadness. He sees dozens of men die painful deaths, including his friends. He soon joins, and is shocked by the emotional and physical toll that such a brutal war has taken on him. Ken enlists in the army, and Allan develops the idea that the war is a carefree adventure. Allan grew up on a farm alongside childhood friend Ken. Is about a young Canadian soldier named Allan McBride who narrates his story while waiting for a reprieve or to be executed by a fire squad for being accused of desertion during the First World War.
