On Two Feet and Wings

Imagine you're nine years old when you find yourself in a very dangerous foreign city alone!
This is what happens to Abbas and to make it more harrowing, it's a true story. Abbas Kazerooni the author of the book is an Iranian and the book is set during the Iran/Iraq war. Iran had lowered the age of conscription to ten and Abbas's birthday was coming up. His parents knew that if he went to war, he had little chance of returning alive, unable to leave the country themselves they sacrificed everything to ge Abbas out. His survival depended on his maturity, strength of character and wily ways.
A great story of danger, resourcefulness and overcoming adversity.
