"How do you condense the events that led up to World War 2, the key battles & strategic decisions of the war, and the aftermath (up to & including the Marshall Plan) into a 90 page book replete with pictures & maps? Very, very carefully.
And I have to say, I admire the job that Stephen Ambrose did on this book. It's clearly written, lavishly illustrated and easy to follow - not a simple task for a war that was fought on two major fronts as well as many other places. He doesn't (for the most part) get into personalities... and while he is unabashedly pro-use of the atomic bombs on Japan (clearly stating the reasons that the decision was made), he doesn't shy away from difficult pictures of the devastation of Hiroshima. In the same vein, he deals with the Japanese internment camps.
I also liked how he included articles on the Forgotten War (China-Burma-India) and the battles in the Aleutian, as well as other sections about the home front & the success of the Marshall Plan.
This is possibly the best short overview of the war I've seen - it would be helpful not only for middle school students (the intended audience) but also for adults who find themselves having a difficult time wrapping their head around the events of the war."
"This is a really great non-fiction book that is great for teaching. It explains different aspects of WWII with a lot of pictures and short, clear text."
