World War II (DK Eyewitness Books)

This is a great book for children who know only what they've heard in schools or in passing by their grandparents.

For adults or older children, I recommend WALKING THROUGH FIRE: AN IWO JIMA SURVIVOR'S REMEMBRANCE which is a first-person account by a WWII veteran who was not only Iwo Jima but also elsewhere in the Pacific. A great history lesson from one who was there, and a good adult companion for this book.Walking Through Fire, An Iwo Jima Survivor's Remembrance

purchased for 11 year old son, he likes it very much. great pics and information

Very informative book that I'm giving to my grandson for his 10th birthday. It is chock full of pictures and the sequence of events is well done. My grandson is a WWII buff so he'll be delighted with this book.

Another good book in the Eyewitness Series. This book does a good job of condensing the vast amount of information available on WWII and, as usual, the pictures tell the story in an interesting way for children. We collect Eyewitness Books and my kids were so glad to see this book and the others on WWI, the Civil War and the American Revolution.
