| In the middle of a war childhood loses all meaning. It becomes a trap, a torment large as a landscape, a clamorous and constant terror when any second may be your last. Peter Townsend was an officer in the Royal Air Force. At the end of the second world war he decided to devote time and affection to those he calls "war's little victims": children. He travelled around to meet them, to help them, to bear witness. So that we should at last understand that war's smallest victims are also its biggest. That a single child is a good enough reason not to start a war. |
