(4) 4-6 Edge Books: Top Secret Files series. This book describes some lesser-known aspects of the Great War, with emphasis on secret plots and pacts, weapons, spies, and technology. Each topic, mainly illustrated with black-and-white photographs, is briefly covered; fact sidebars and definitions of technical terms provide supplemental information. The last chapter is an unfortunate hodgepodge of topics. Critical thinking questions using the Common Core are appended. Reading list. Glos., ind.

(4) 4-6 Edge Books: Top Secret Files series. This book examines some of the lesser-known people, battles, and weapons of the Revolutionary War. Each profile receives an unfortunately brief description, but the text is supplemented by fact sidebars and definitions of technical terms. The book is laid out in an easy-to-read manner, incorporating colorful paintings and photographs. Critical thinking questions using the Common Core are appended. Reading list. Glos., ind.
