AN ICE-CREAM WAR - WILLIAM BOYD KARTONIERT (TB)

An Ice-Cream War is William Boyd's sparkling debut novel on the grimly comic side of conflict 
published as a Penguin Essential for the first time.    'What do you think would happen if I
shot an elephant in the balls?' 'I think it would hurt a great deal.'   Millions die on the
Western Front but in East Africa a quite different war is being waged - one with little point
and which is so ignored that it will carry on after the Armistice because no one bothers to
tell both sides to stop.  As the conflict sweeps up natives and colonials  so those left at
home and those fighting abroad find themselves unable to escape the tide of history bearing
down on them.
