Synopsis

Atlas of Conflicts explains how and why the major wars of the twentieth century started, describes what happened, and analyzes how the results changed our world. Each title includes twenty-four maps that illustrate in graphic form how the battles and campaigns were fought, how boundaries were redrawn, and how nations were reshaped. Atlas of Conflicts provides a wealth of primary source quotations and statistical information along with powerful historic photographs of both military and civilian participants in each war.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

For many children, narrative is one of the strong attractions of history and here it is used to good effect to demonstrate the varied ways in which individuals contributed to the war effort. (School Librarian Journal, Winter 2002)

Each story is relatively short and written in straightforward language, making the books accessible to young people with low reading stamina. The stories themselves are gripping with plenty of action... I would recommend these for school libraries... (School Librarian Journal)
