Bought This for My Brother, he loved it! I ordered this for my little brother, who is fascinated with the WW2 Era in history. Thanks to prime shipping it came in two days, and he couldn't contain his excitement! The pictures and details in the book go above and the beyond the other DK books I've read as a kid. I would buy this for any little historian in the family, or for anyone liking history in general! If you found this helpful, please rate it as such!. "Great book" according to Tanya. Bought for my son as a present. He loves the visuals. Good for kids interested in history. I would buy again.. Five Stars jack Really great and informative book!
