World Wars

YA
World Wars series.
By focusing on narrower topics, these four books are able to provide detailed accounts of three aspects or battles of World War II and one offensive of World War I. Well written, with the information broken up by sidebars, maps, and period photographs, this series will help readers interested in these two wars. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind. [Review covers these World War titles: The War in the Pacific, The Home Front in World War II, The Battle of the Somme, and The Battle of Britain.]

World Wars series.
Archival illustrations, maps, sidebars, and captioned black-and-white photos enhance these concise overviews of the causes of WWI, technology used in both world wars, and major WWI leaders, including Woodrow Wilson, Nicholas II, and Leon Trotsky. While generally well written, the books' small type and cramped design is off-putting. Resources, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these World Wars titles: The Causes of World War I, Leaders of World War I, The Technology of World War I, and The Technology of World War II.]

World Wars series.
Though not comprehensive, these two slim volumes offer an overview of the causes, events, and leaders of World War II. Ross's profiles include such figures as Churchill, Hitler, Tojo, and Mussolini. Captioned black-and-white photographs, original documents, maps, and sidebars border the clear and engaging texts, and while informative, they are squeezed onto the page. Bib., glos., ind.
