What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
As the book is about an army, violence and death are inherent topics. The approach is factual and historical, not graphic or sensationalized. It discusses battles, weapons, and the purpose of the army (to conquer and control) directly and in a secular context. Death is presented as a reality of battle but is not lingered upon emotionally.
