War of the Eagles

by Eric Walters

Orca Book Publishers | January 1, 1998 | Trade Paperback

During WWII, Jed''s English father serves as a fighter pilot overseas, while Jed and his mother move back to her Tsimshian community on Canada''s west coast. When the military sets up a naval base in town, Jed is hired to help out, honored it seems, for both his father''s bravery and his own native skills as a hunter. Presented with a military jacket, Jed finds an allegiance to his country and a pride in his mixed heritage that he''s never felt before.

But one day Jed''s world is shattered. His best friend Tadashi, along with the other members of the nearby Japanese village, are declared enemy aliens and told to prepare to leave their homes. Now Jed must ask himself where his allegiance really belongs to his country''s rigid code, or to the truth that is buried in his Tsimshian soul.

War of the Eagles is the first of two books in a series.
Book two is Caged Eagles.

    This book is by far one of the best books of all time, When I was in sixth grade my teacher read it to us, began reading it to us, then one day she told us that Eric Walters the author would be coming to our school to talk with us. He told us the reason why he wrote that book, and how he gets his ideas to write his other books. He is such an inspirational author and a wonderful role model for young children, I mean being a father of 3,an elementary school teacher, social worker and author, all at the same time. I continue to read and collect every book he writes,

    War of the Eagles

    War of the Eagles is a make-you-think book that ties in the racism and prejudice that still stands today. It's a classic and Walters has wrote another great book to keep on your shelves for a long time.

From Our Editors

Jed has nursed an injured eagle back to health, but the eagle is still reluctant to fly. Jed knows what it will take to make it fly again - a single shot from his gun will startle the eagle into flight. More difficult to solve is the problem of his own freedom. Jed must learn to understand and take pride in his Native Indian heritage before he can grow into his destiny in Eric Walters' War of the Eagles.
