This combined volume from Usborne Books is an excellent resource for middle to high school aged students Providing cost savings by binding two books together Usborne has produced an excellent overview of both World Wars In typical Usborne style every page is lavishly illustrated and in this case using mostly period photographs The causes and course of each war are thoroughly discussed so that a student will gain a solid understanding of the history of the wars and the affect they had on the world we now live in I particularly appreciate the effort put into giving a complete overview of the first World War since it is often overlooked in favor of World War II history Producing a joint history of the wars is an excellent idea since many of the roots of the second war come from the first as this book makes clear This book also contains internet links for further information on every double page spread The links are easy to use and frequently updated by Usborne so there is no fear of purchasing a product only to have the internet resources be gone when your child needs them Combined with the text the links make "The World Wars" an almost limitless source of information for students of 20th century world history
