Synopsis

World War II resulted in the defeat of the Axis powers and left the United States and the Soviet Union as antagonists in the developing Cold War. Through thoughtful narrative supported by fully documented quotes this title begins with A Brief History of World War II and then examines these questions: How Did the Treaty of Versailles Contribute to Hitlers Rise? How did the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor Influence the Wars Outcome? How Did the Nazi Invasion of the Soviet Union Change the Course of the War? How Did the End of World War II Contribute to the Start of the Cold War?

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Gr 9 Up-Outstanding analysis of factors responsible for some of history's most significant events distinguishes this well-written set. Books open with a brief description of a pivotal moment and topic overview, followed by four chapters that ask and answer a key question. Chapter topics vary but generally include an underlying cause (e.g., the Treaty of Versailles in World War II), the effects of important decisions or events (such as how French support of the Americans affected the American and French Revolutions), and the aftermath (for instance, the continuing legacy of Roman civilization) of each subject. Authors include contemporary scholarship and provide plenty of background. Occasional sidebars and illustrations add to the text. These selections offer readable, thought-provoking content that will help students gain the deeper comprehension of causality in history required by contemporary learning standards. VERDICT Valuable additions to any collection serving high school students.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
