A War: A boy's struggle to survive World War II... in Beverly Hills

This is a story of a young boy's struggle to survive World War 11... in Beverly Hills. Part one, "Combat". Weeks after the shocking bombardment of Pearl Harbor, John Halloran, the 10 year old son of a prominent Catholic, show business family, and his closest friend, Ted Goshen, are drawn into their own dangerous battlefield combat with a disturbed bully, whose festering hatred of the 'invading' Japanese threatens the life of their young Japanese friend and protector, Wesley Namura. Johnny is challenged to find real battlefield courage on a February night in 1942 on what only can be described as foreign soil, when the skies of Beverly Hills literally exploded with spiderwebs of search lights and thousands of rounds of anti-aircraft fire... historically referred to as, "the battle of Los Angeles"Part two: "Casualties" Three years later, the boys manipulate a trip to downtown Los Angeles in search of their first sexual experience, only to be sidetracked into a much more dangerous adventure that deals jarring life and death lessons to both. This is a tale of friendship and violence, of love and hatred, of innocence and innocence lost.
