Description: This book is about Margate in the 1930s and 1940s as seen by a boy (Gene Haley) and his dog. Part one takes place in the 1930s and shows a beach and a boyhood unaware of the depression hitting much of America. Part two in the 1940s begins with the evolution of World War II as seen from the Atlantic Seaboard, when the U-boats brought havoc so close to the shore.
