Kipling's Choice By: Geert Spillebeen Translated By: Terese Edelstein This book is about the son of Rudyard Kipling. John wants to succeed his father's goal of fighting in the war. So, when John is 18 he goes to apply for the army and take his physical. He was told he couldn't be in the army because he has very bad eyesight. This was also the reason his father couldn't get into the army. So, Rudyard took matters into his own hands and used his popularity to get John into the army. John ended up becoming a lieutenant. All he had to do was lead his men and stay alive. This book is fictionalized because the author put in parts of what John would have felt or been feeling while he was in the war. He was considered a very brave soldier and leader. He also went missing and his family never gave up in looking for him
