"War Children shows what life was like during the Second World War for the children who lived through it. What was it like going to school in Nazi Germany, or helping to put fires out during the Blitz? How did it feel to be evacuated, or to arrive in Britain as a refugee and then be told you were an 'enemy alien'? Can you imagine running for your life as a doodlebug hurtled towards you, or drifting in a lifeboat for eight days, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? In this book, eyewitnesses interviewed by the Imperial War Museum tell you just how it felt to be there?..." [Back cover] At head of title: In association with the Imperial War Museum. -First published in the UK as Under fire by Scholastic UK, 2004.

In the midst of an international crisis, Heidi Milligan, a beautiful, brilliant American naval commander, accidentally discovers an obscure reference to the long-buried North American Treaty, a precedent-shattering secret pact between the United States and Great Britain. The President believes that the treaty offers the single shot at salvation for an energy-starved, economically devastated nation, but the only two copies plummeted into the watery depths of the Atlantic in twin disasters long ago. The original document must be found—and the one American who can do the job is Dirk Pitt. But in London, a daring counterplot is being orchestrated to see that the treaty is never implemented. Brian Shaw, a master spy who has often worked hand in hand with American agents, now confronts his most challenging command. Pitt’s mission: Raise the North American Treaty. Shaw’s mission: Stop Pitt. Praise for Night Probe! and the Dirk Pitt® novels “A rich tale . . . an absorbing, carefully told mystery with plenty of surprises.”—Los Angeles Times “Dirk Pitt is a combination James Bond and Jacques Cousteau.”—New York Daily News
