Gr 6–8—Both advanced middle graders and older but less confident readers with an interest in weaponry will find these extensive surveys well worth poring over. Roughly arranged in chronological order, each title presents detailed accounts of the historical contexts and the development, capabilities, and deployment of 24 significant vessels or vehicles. The large, sharp illustrations and diagrams are a particular strength; reproductions with finely detailed side views, cutaways, and close ups are accompanied by specifications and additional period photos and pictures of related war craft. Capped with generous lists of further resources, these books are equally suitable for assignment use, casual browsing, or riveted study by young enthusiasts.
