(4) YA Sieges That Changed the World series. These two books provide relatively in-depth overviews of the sieges of, respectively, Petersburg, Virginia, during the Civil War and the Alamo during the 1836 Texas Revolution; also discussed are the events leading up to the sieges and their aftermaths. Color photos and reproductions of period art break up the texts, which are at times dense and, in the case of Petersburg, awkwardly written. Reading list, timeline. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Sieges That Changed the World titles: Petersburg and The Alamo.]
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
