Editorial Reviews

Told in graphic novel format, this would be a good resource for the struggling/reluctant reader researching World War Two heroes. After a brief summary along with a timeline and map, the book re-lives the experiences of five individuals who participated in the war. . . .recommended for libraries serving the youth.
