Political satire about nationalism and war is handled with Pratchett's characteristic lightness despite serious subject matter
What this book is about
The twenty-first Discworld novel, a City Watch book, satirizes jingoism, nationalism, and the absurdity of war as Ankh-Morpork prepares to fight over a tiny island that appeared from the sea. Sam Vimes refuses to participate in the rush to war, and the novel is one of Pratchett's sharpest political satires. Entirely appropriate for all ages with Pratchett's characteristic mild violence and wit.
