A noteworthy review of Eyewitness to World War II from School Library Connection on October 1, 2016

Reviewed on 1 October 2016

This comprehensive series does an excellent job of covering the very broad and popular topic of World War II. Each brief volume addresses a different aspect of the war, from important and well-known battles to the contributions and experiences of women and different ethnic groups. The text is informative and detailed and includes a lot of compelling first-person accounts and photographs on every page. The pictures are not graphic or gory, yet still convey the somberness and severity of these events. The inclusion of women and minorities throughout the series is noteworthy as well. Considering the high reading level and difficult subject matter of most World War II nonfiction, this set is a welcome addition for middle grade history buffs! Glossary. Index.
