America at War Set

America at War provides young adult readers with a clear understanding, in both words and pictures, of the violent clashes and confrontations that have played so large a role in shaping U.S. history. Each book in the set opens with a dramatic incident or event central to the conflict under discussion and goes on to present the war's major objectives and strategies, along with significant innovations in weaponry and tactics. Telling details from the lives of prominent commanders, common foot soldiers, and wartime civilians are brought out, and key battles are vividly described. The volumes conclude with thought-provoking discussion of the conflict's impact on American society. Box features provide a brief but detailed look at interesting people, events, or themes; a glossary of important terms, a useful bibliography and further reading list, and an index conclude each book. Maps and carefully selected photos complement the lively text, making the America at War set a superb resource for young readers.Bowman, John S. is the author of 'America at War Set ', published 2004 under ISBN 9780816061082 and ISBN 0816061084.
