About this title: In 1917 Texas, at the height of World War I, Will Bergfeld is accused of treason for no other reason than his German background and his reputation for being a difficult man to deal with. Based on an event in the life of the author's grandfather, the novel centers on Will's trial, and on his defense by a Texas lawyer who must battle against the growing public clamor for a conviction.

"book club selection Tomorrow night, we'll be discussing this book as part of the museum's book club and I think it will be a great discussion. Years ago, we read one of Windle's other novels, Hill Country, but these two books are so different. In a way, Will's War is much tighter and has a kind of force to it that her other novels don't. Like her other novels, she dives into family history to tell the sory of her grandfather, accused of treason during WWI. But is that accusation really just because of his involvement with unions, and more importantly, his German heritage? This book explores all kinds of issues of class and cultural identity--set in towns I'm familiar with. The trial scenes are riveting, and she does seamless job of exploring the family's backstory as well. Highly recommended."
"I read this book because it is based on a true story and mostly set in and around where I live and work - the story itself and the writing style weren't overly remarkable to me, but it was very interesting to get a glimpse of how the community I live in looked close to a century ago."
