It is 1914. In a hotel room in German East Africa, American farmer Walter Smith dreams of Theodore Roosevelt. As he sleeps, a railway passenger swats at flies, regretting her decision to return to the Dark Continent -- and her husband. On a faraway English river bank, Felix Cobb watches his brother bathe and curses his sister-in-law-to-be. And in the background of the world's daily chatter: rumors of an Anglo-German conflict the likes of which no one has ever seen.In An Ice-Cream War, William Boyd brilliantly evokes the private dramas of a generation upswept by the winds of war. As the sons of the world match wits and weapons on a continent thousands of miles from home, desperation makes bedfellows of enemies -- and traitors of friends and family. By turns comic and quietly wise, An Ice-Cream War deftly renders lives capsized by violence, chance, and the irrepressible human capacity for love.
