Enhanced with reproduction and archival photos, these slim but concise volumes focus on the causes of each war and, as the series title suggests, the war’s impact on the U.S. • Text-dependent and research questions keep readers engaged in this informative series. ” Illustrations were chosen with great care and demonstrate the profound effects of war on human life; for instance, one photo depicts a sobbing baby sitting amid the rubble in the aftermath of a bombing of a Shanghai train station. This series strikes the ideal balance between a thorough and well-researched presentation of history and one that is exciting and engaging. VERDICT: An excellent resource. — School Library Journal
