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.

series title suggests, the war’s impact on the U.S. Text-dependent
and research questions keep readers engaged in this informative
series.
