During WWII, Jed's English father serves as a fighter pilot overseas, while Jed and his mother move back to her Tsimshian community on Canada's west coast. When the military sets up a naval base in town, Jed is hired to help out, honored it seems, for both his father's bravery and his own native skills as a hunter. Presented with a military jacket, Jed finds an allegiance to his country and a pride in his mixed heritage that he's never felt before.
But one day Jed's world is shattered. His best friend Tadashi, along with the other members of the nearby Japanese village, are declared enemy aliens and told to prepare to leave their homes. Now Jed must ask himself where his allegiance really belongs...to his country's rigid code, or to the truth that is buried in his Tsimshian soul.
War of the Eagles is the first of two books in a series.
Book two is Caged Eagles.

Jed knows what it will take to free the eagle he has nursed back to health. One carefully aimed shot from his rifle, and the reluctant bird will be startled into flight. But for Jed, the challenge to find and free himself is much more difficult. Can he learn to understand and take pride in his Native heritage? And, more important, will Jed accept his country's betrayal of his best friend? Eric Walters is a prolific author of books for young readers. Among his other titles is Caged Eagles, the sequel to War of the Eagles. Visit www.ericwalters.net for more information on Eric and all his books.
