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.
