The Horns of the Morning — John Kelly

Two men, old and frail, accidentally meet at the site of a battle fought 60 years before. Each fulfilling a need to face and finally bury the past, they slowly realize as the scales of time fall from their eyes that they once were bitter enemies. Long ago, together, they journeyed through hatred, despair, heartache and triumph and against all the odds rose above the conflict of battle. Against the backdrop of a terrible war that threatened to destroy a people and its culture, The Horns of the Morning tells the remarkable story of enemies becoming friends becoming brothers, and their journey to safety through a land where everyone and everything wants to kill them. From the training camps in Wales to the sweeping grasslands of South Africa this story will shock and delight in equal measure.
