Work detailsEyewitness Books: World War II by Simon Adams
None. DK's Eyewitness Book are always full of great non-fiction material and World War II is no exception. With many pictures and illustrations to go with text it will grow with learners. Aspects of several different nations involved in the war are covered in this book. (  ) ReplayGuy | Apr 23, 2012 |  A great overview of World War II looking at all areas of the world that were involved. Since this is a non-fiction book there are not any defined characters, plot or setting. This DK book does an excellent job at looking at not only the U.S. perspective, but also the Japanese, Soviet, German, Italian and British aspects of the war. The short paragraphs on each page help to introduce the topic, however, the pictures and the captions contain the most information and have are very interesting. This is an excellent book for a public library, and would be good for elementary aged children, as well as some middle school students. ( ) spartyliblover | Oct 20, 2008 | no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0756630088, Hardcover)Take an eyewitness view of the complexities, atrocities, and heroics of war with World War II, from DK's Eyewitness series. In keeping with all the books in this remarkable reference collection, pages are jam-packed with crisp, vivid photographs, illustrations, documents, and maps, as well as fascinating narrative and captions. Under chapter headings such as "A world divided," "Bombing raids," "Women at work," "Road to Stalingrad," "Propaganda and morale," "The Holocaust," "D-Day invasion," and "The atomic bomb," the events of the war are described and illustrated in compelling detail. Readers learn about life under German occupation, remarkable secret inventions (poison pens, matchbox cameras, pipes with a secret compartment), how soldiers managed to overcome the enemy, what the inside of a British midget submarine looked like, and much more. World War II changed the course of history forever--this stunning book illuminates the people, places, and events that played a part in this unforgettable drama. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:35:47 -0500) Text and photos present the key events, battles, weapons, uniforms, and cultural phenomena, such as propaganda, of the Axis and Allies during the Second World War.
