Description: Packed with information that kids will find fascinating, from Hitler's rise to power in 1933 to the surrender of the Japanese in 1945, this is more than an ordinary history book--it is filled with excerpts from actual wartime letters written to and by American and German troops, and personal anecdotes from people who lived through the war.
Review Quotes: "It is my hope that the history of World War II, rendered accessible to younger students in Richard Panchyk's readable account, will inspire another generation of Americans as we wage a new struggle against the enemies of freedom." --Senator John McCain
