About This Item
Synopsis
Private Peaceful is a novel written by Michael Morpurgo, and a play by Simon Reade, based on the book. It is about a soldier called Thomas, or Tommo, Peaceful, who is looking back on his life from the trenches of World War I. Structurally, each chapter of the book brings the reader closer to the present. The story especially underlines the senselessness of war and ineptitude of the commanding officers.
