Cali, Davide, 1972-

The enemy / author, Davide Cali ; illustrator, Serge Bloch. - Elwood, Vic. : Wilkins Farago, 2007. - 64 unnumbered pages; illustrations; 31 cm.

"Set in a war not unlike the First World War, the tale is narrated by a lone soldier, who tells of his loneliness, deprivations, fears, irritations and, finally, his resolve to end his part in the war. In exploring his own emotions about a conflict seemingly without end or reason, he comes to suspect his enemy is not the inhuman barbarian he has been warned about, but may just be a frightened, tired victim of propaganda like himself." -- Publisher.

After watching an enemy for a very long time during an endless war, a soldier finally creeps out into the night to the other man's hole and is surprised by what he finds there.
