Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-15 00:00:00 Rafael Rojas Fabulous! This book, produced by Usborne (publisher) is a comprehensive treatment of all things associated with World Wars I & II. The book is arranged chronologically. Included, is information about specific events that led up to the war, occurred during or after the war. There are brief essays -- laid out in an easy-to-read and an even easier-to-understand format. There are also color illustrations, color and b&w photographs, quotes, map, and more. For most entries, there is also a box that provides an "Internet Link," for "links to websites where you can read illustrated accounts of the wars and how they affected people and places around the world." The first half of the 20th century was dominated by worldwide conflict. At stake was mastery of the world. Surprisingly, the results were never as expected. In seeking to defend or even increase their power, Britain, France, and Germany lost their dominant position to the United States and Soviet Russia. At the end of the book is a "Fact File." This includes an annotated list of "Wars on Film & TV," a "Who's Who," people who played a vital role in the events of the two World Wars, a Glossary, an Index, Internet Links, and Acknowledgements. Excellent

Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-07 00:00:00 Colleen Hurlburt We used this as an elementary textbook, for which I felt it provided an in-depth look at the World Wars. Good visuals and easy format made taking in a lot of info easier. In truth, I think there was more info about the World Wars in this book than high school world history textbooks, so this book could span quite a range of ages.
