Editorial Reviews

"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."—School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
