Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: The World Wars (Hardcover)

My son saw this book at Books-A-Million and wanted it, but it was around $40, so I told him to wait and I would get it for him online. Obviously Amazon had it for less, with free s/h, so I bought it and my son loves it! He's really into history right now and this covers the world wars in a very informative way with lots of pictures.

This review is from: The World Wars (Hardcover)

Easy text, pictures, and diagrams which makes it very interesting for children and adults. The sequence and explanation of events are brief, almost too brief, but are enough to teach you the facts, and help you put the event(s) into historical context.
This one is a keeper, a good handy reference. Some times we watch a WW documentary, and miss some of the information, and this book helps me review and clarify the information.

I bought this for my 12 year old and he has read it word for word twice already. If you have a kid who loves history or just a thirst for knowledge this is a great book.
