One of the largest military operations in history, D-day ended in Allied victory, but that victory came at a staggering price.

Editorial Reviews

"A perennial favorite time period among students receives a fresh treatment."—School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

From the Publisher

04/01/2018
Gr 4–7—A perennial favorite time period among students receives a fresh treatment. Each volume provides facts about the events, along with the personal recollections of a number of people involved. For instance, an opening publisher's note in Navajo Code Talkers explains that when historical and personal accounts don't align, the author has chosen to "use the facts as explained by the code talkers themselves, considering their words to be primary sources"—a smart decision. Throughout the series, the text is very readable, and the images are mostly contemporaneous black-and-white photographs that complement the narratives. VERDICT An above average series for report needs.
