From School Library Journal
Grade 6–8—Each title seemingly covers the most important aspects of each leader's life and tries to separate fact from fiction. However, more coverage is given to history than to the featured person. The writing is often stilted and can be confusing as many historical figures are introduced. Full-color maps, photographs, and illustrations give readers a visual understanding of the regions, architecture, and art associated with the individuals. Overall, the books are best suited for readers interested in general information about these periods than for reports.—Karen Scott, Valley Intermediate School, Pelham, AL
