This was the largest of all of World War II children's transports, and although acknowledged today as \"a great social-historical mistake,\" it has received surprisingly little attention. This is the first English-language account of Finland's war children and their experiences, told through the survivors' own words. Supported by an extensive introduction, a bibliography of secondary sources, and over two dozen photographs, this book testifies to the often-lifelong traumas endured by youthful survivors of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSue Saffle\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a Senior Instructorship in Virginia Tech's Department of English.
