This powerful book for younger readers tells the enduring story of a friendship between a boy and his horse and is a gateway to help children understand the history and chaos of the First World War.

I think it's probably a good lesson for kids to know you probably shouldn't make snap judgements about people, whether for good or for ill, until you get to know them. Some of the characters seem like good people but as you go along, you learn more about who they are and what they believe. It didn't tell you so much as showed you about them.
