Product Review
School Library Journal : "The text is supplemented by quotes from primary-source materials such as letters, diaries, and published accounts written by soldiers, nurses, and civilians."
-- School Library Journal (September 2001)
School Library Journal : "A forward explains why it is important to look at America as a country defined by the wars it picked to wage while an introduction seeks to explain why the United States picked to wage this particular war. The epilogue details what happened to many of those involved. Black-and-white photographs show men, women, and materiel. (It) will appeal to a wide range of ages; clear, concise, and user-friendly, it is tailor-made for reports but will still attract browsers."
-- School Library Journal (August 2001)
School Library Journal : "The chapters that follow deal with the trained but ill-informed soldiers, living conditions, dangers, uncontrolled behaviors, postwar personal problems, closure, and lessons learned. The texts are organized in double-column pages with detailed sidebars in tinted boxes. Many primary sources are quotedvolumes are liberally illustrated with good-quality, black-and-white captioned photos. Vocabulary is appropriate while at the same time describing the situation without softening the impact or tempering the language in the soldier's statements. These are definitely titles that should be considered for purchase."
-- School Library Journal (June 2001)
School Library Journal : "An introduction presents a brief background historyThe text is then divided into five chronological chaptersThe epilogue concluded with a balanced discussion of the period. Well-captioned, black-and-white photos, supplement the main presentation. Documentation is thorough, with detailed notes. This informative presentation will be a good source for reports and for general interest."
-- School Library Journal (April 2001)
School Library Journal : "Both titles are balanced, pointing out strengths and weaknesses of both sides. The two-column texts are liberally illustrated with black and white lithographs, a few maps, and some photographs of reenactments. Primary source materials appear in shaded boxes. Unfamiliar and/or archaic terms are defined in context. Both volumes are thorough, but not overwhelming."
-- School Library Journal (April 2003)
