Description:
Stephen E. Ambrose, the finest historian of our time, has written an unprecedented chronicle of the American involvement in World War II, geared toward young readers. Drawing from his bestselling books D-Day and Citizen Soldiers, Ambrose captures the war's multitude of events in a running, cumulative narrative that will enlighten, and appeal to, young readers. From Japanese war planes soaring over Pearl Harbor dropping devastation from the sky, to the Battle of the Bulge during the coldest winter in Europe's modern history, to the against-all-odds allied victory at Midway, to the tormenting decision to bomb Nagasaki and Hiroshima with atomic weapons, The Good Fight brings the most significant events in history to a new generation in a way that's never been done for young readers.
Expand description
Each spread in The Good Fight highlights a specific conflict with spectacular, mesmerizing color and black-and-white photographs capturing the event visually. Each conflict leads to the next until the German, then Japanese, surrender, and includes factual sidebars and maps. Spreads are also devoted to the Holocaust, D-Day, and the conditions in Asia and Europe that provoked the war. Stephen E. Ambrose's singular ability to take complex and multifaceted information and get right to its essence make this book not only a teacher's dream, but a great read. This is the book on World War II for kids.
