HISTORICAL WARS
The new series provides information
about 11 important conflicts in which
the American military was engaged.
Each of these 64-page books focuses
on a specific conflict, providing
information on the causes of the war;
the major campaigns and battles and
how they led to the war's conclusion;
and the results of the conflict and its
impact on world history. These
interesting and factual volumes are
supplemented with numerous color
photographs and maps, as well as
a chronology, glossary of terms,
a guide to additional resources for
more information, text-dependent
questions and report ideas, and
an index.

Enhanced with reproduction and archival photos, these
slim but concise volumes focus on the causes of each war and,
as the series title suggests, the war’s impact on the U.S.
• Text-dependent and research questions keep readers
engaged in this informative series.

”
Illustrations were chosen with great care and demonstrate
the profound effects of war on human life; for instance, one
photo depicts a sobbing baby sitting amid the rubble in the
aftermath of a bombing of a Shanghai train station. This
series strikes the ideal balance between a thorough and
well-researched presentation of history and one that is
exciting and engaging.
VERDICT: An excellent resource.
