World War II History for Teens: Understanding the Major Battles, Military Strategy, and Arc of War

Brilliant

For a long time I have known that I was ignorant about anything but the broad strokes of WWII history. After seeing the film "Oppenheimer" recently, I was motivated to learn more. For example, I always wondered why we were at war with both Germany and Japan at the same time... was it just a coincidence that Japan became rowdy at the same time that Germany did? This book is just what I wanted! A clear overview of the conditions worldwide that lead to the war and a summary of how the war proceeded on all fronts. It describes the major battles and acquaints the reader with the major people. It doesn't assume that the reader knows the meaning of common terms and acronyms; for example, who knew that the origin of "U boats" is the German "unterseeboots," or "undersea boats?" Maybe I should have known, but I didn't. Onward to more reading...but this was a great start.

I gave this product as a gift
