COPY ISBN
Gr 7 Up—Books on wars and presidents are always in demand, and these titles nicely combine both topics. Readers learn how each president prosecuted his respective war. Volumes contain an introduction to the time and conflict, followed by brief biographical information about the president. They then segue into a fairly comprehensive and interesting account of the conflicts and how the chief executives dealt with them on the political and military levels. Generally positive in tone, the books do discuss the negatives, such as Lincoln's suspension of the writ of habeas corpus and Roosevelt's internment of Japanese Americans. Inserts bring attention to related topics, such as the Taliban and trench warfare. Contemporary photographs enliven the text.
VERDICT The well-written narratives will appeal to history buffs and will pleasantly surprise researchers.
