11:15 am, 3 September 1939. The nation gathers around their radios to hear Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain make the announcement they have feared for months: Britain is at war with Germany. Seventy years on from that historic day, this is the definitive history of the build-up to, outbreak & first few months of World War Two, from the events of early 1939, right through to the first war-time Christmas.

Thirteen-year-old Ben Tracey is looking forward to spending the summer in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where his father has been hired to examine the valuable mineral Coltan that's being mined there. They soon realise that the people living in the village near the mine are frightened & it doesn't take long for Ben & his father to discover why: behind the door of every hut there is at least one person dying or seriously ill, & no one seems to be doing anything to help.

As Ben's father falls ill, it's up to Ben & his new friend from the village, Halima, to try & tell the government what's going on so the village can be isolated before the sickness spreads further. Will they be able to prevent disaster?
