America goes to war

"The fight for independence was not an easy one for the 13 colonies that became the United States. The Revolutionary War stretched on for decades, including not just battles such as Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, and Yorktown but also matters of diplomacy, economics, and politics. In this volume, young history fans will learn about the stories behind many aspects of the war, from the early beginnings of American dissatisfaction with Great Britain to the Treaty of Paris and setting of U.S. borders. Timelines give readers context on the conflict, while historical artwork highlights the people and places of the Revolution"--Amazon.

"The Pacific front was an integral part of World War II. In this in-depth volume, readers will learn more about the military campaigns there and how they connected to the fronts in Europe and North Africa. Timelines show the progression of the war and how each battle and event tied in to the greater whole. Historical photographs give even greater context, while detailed text shows how each battle and attack affected the course and outcome of the greater war"--Amazon.

"War isn't new in our world, but the Vietnam War was a new sort of war in many ways. Called by some 'the first television war,' it was the first in which video and audio recording played a huge role in getting the story to people back in the United States, bringing home not only the basic news but the enormous toll that war can take. For better and worse, this helped make it one of the most polarizing wars in U.S. history. This . . . volume provides context to the war's history, while timelines for both the overall book and its chapters help give further details"--Provided by publisher.

"Although World War I has been called 'the War to End All Wars,' that unfortunately hasn't been the case. However, the so-called Great War did change everything. Millions of people died from battle, illness, and other causes related to the war, and the destruction and death it caused was unprecedented. This absorbing book shows how the war started, as well as its longstanding repercussions. It also provides timelines for the overall war as well as chapter by chapter, and historical photographs give even more context"--Amazon.
