Published in association with Imperial War Museums, The Story of the
Second World War for Children sensitively teaches kids about history's
deadliest conflict.
Packed with photographs, maps, and detailed cross-sections of famous
tanks, aircraft, submarines, and warships, this fascinating exploration
of the Second World War outlines key battles and shows how the conflict
affected people across the world--not just the soldiers fighting on
land, at sea, and in the air, but also the children evacuated to the
countryside, bombed-out city dwellers, and civilians working in
munitions factories.
Bite-sized feature boxes throughout highlight subjects of particular
interest to youngsters, including life inside a U-boat; spy and
resistance equipment; a wartime recipe; and the trials of surviving a
Russian winter as a soldier.
