Praise for this book

Read the entire series in chronological order and an outline history of the six major U.S. wars is revealed. An additional chapter in the World War II and Iraq War volumes discusses wartime inventions and new technology. The pages are formatted like a scrapbook with clear b&w photographs succinctly labeled, fact boxes add human interest. Boys interested in military history will grab the books off the shelf...-- "Library Media Connection"
This short, photo-rich book offers a brief timeline of both Iraq wars and bullet-point descriptions of the weapons, gear and uniforms typical to combatants on both sides of the conflict. The vocabulary is (necessarily) sophisticated, but will not discourage interested readers.-- "Denton ISD (Denton, TX)"
