The publisher's suggested reading age for this book is 9-12, and I agree. My 6-year old brought this home from the school library. He is an advanced reader and can read and understand the words, but he is too young to comprehend the detailed military strategy and violence involved in telling the true story. It is certainly a compelling book, and an excellent vehicle for teaching history -- to a 9-12 year old. I would just prefer to leave it on the shelf for a few years and maybe get a book about military uniforms or trucks for my kindergartener instead.

The artwork is very well done in these (personal opinion)... our son loves these. Its a bit pricey for the number of pages you get.. and most history buffs will already know how the story ends.. but great visuals just the same.

Bought this for my obsessed 7 year old son. He enjoyed it very much. While a comic book, it is serious history and well balanced. It is very expensive, no doubt due to the heavy duty library binding.
