Austin Anti-War

This whole book is anti-war. All throughtout the book Kurt shows his anti-warism. Calling the book the children's crusade is one way he shows his anti-warism. He believes that young, unexperienced people are the soldiers in the war. Kurt hates war because he thinks that the young and uneducated are involved in war. He thinks that there is no point for war but no matter what there will always be war. Overall the book shows through the bombing of Dresden, the P.O.W.s and the characters in war that war is a bad thing. It corrupts people who are involved in it and destroys innocent people that are effected by it.
