Beginning before the war, this book covers the reasons for the war and how military leaders rose to power. The text reviews people and battles with captivating storytelling, and includes many pictures, posters, and drawings. In addition to the main text, 21 hands-on activities like Defending the Coast, Reconnaissance, Code Breaking, Camouflage, and Make a Ration Kit add greater interest to the book. ~ Mark
