YAWorld History series.
Beginning with the historical events that led to each conflict, these books then discuss the progression of each war, ending with a chapter focusing on the outcomes. The straightforward writing, though accessible, is bland, and the two-column layout results in a sterile, textbooklike appearance. Maps and photographs add interest; some primary source material sidebars provide more historical context. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind. Review covers these World History titles: World War I and The Vietnam War.
