This special edition of The Man From Story Mountain podcast carries a dual purpose: firstly, to pay my respects to those who fell in World War 1 as today (November 11, Armistice Day) marks the anniversary of the day that war ended; secondly, to continue playing my part for the ending of the conflicts which are currently raging in Gaza, Ukraine, and other arenas of war worldwide. Since this episode was recorded, the conflict has spread to Lebanon, Iran, and other countries; Korean soldiers have joined Russian forces in Ukraine.  This podcast episode represents a stark warning that we forget history's lessons at our dire peril.

It follows a London family and how the war impacted their lives, Chapter 10 sees peace come at last and the declaration of the Armistice.

This is not a war WITH Gaza but rather a war ON Gaza, because Palestine has no army, navy nor airforce to fight back. One Gazan child dies every 10 minutes under Israeli bombardments. My book for young adults is a call for peace - may my solitary attempt be clamored out by the rising tide of similar voices in every domain of human life and culture.
