Summary: "The Radio Gunner" by Alexander Forbes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the story of Jim Evans, a young man with a passion for science and radio technology, as he navigates his growth from a boy fascinated by a Memorial Day parade to a skilled radio operator during a significant naval conflict. The narrative interweaves themes of friendship, responsibility, and the pursuit of knowledge within the backdrop of historical events. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Jim Evans, a young boy who, during a Memorial Day parade, grapples with the meaning of his mother’s tears as she remembers her father, a war hero. Fast forward eleven years, Jim is now a student in boarding school, where he demonstrates bravery during a fire outbreak, prompting respect from his peers. As the story progresses, Jim's passion for science leads him to a successful naval career, where he becomes a proficient radio operator during World War I. His friendship with Sam Mortimer also plays a critical role, as Mortimer's political path intersects with Jim's scientific pursuits, setting the stage for their roles in the upcoming conflict with the rising powers in Europe.
