(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Santoro & Christopher Santoro. This fast-paced book describes the events of October 30, 1938, when an Orson Welles radio production of H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds caused a nationwide panic. Featuring humorous black-and-white images, the entertaining narrative offers explanations--e.g., the era's breakneck technological developments--for why some listeners believed that an alien invasion was plausible. Reading list, websites.
