Gr 4-8These three titles present different perspectives while skillfully weaving together key facts and concepts relating to World War II history. Code Talkers discusses the role of Native Americans, both as soldiers and as translators. Hollywood looks at the role of the film industry in providing propaganda and entertainment, both for soldiers and for civilians. Doing Our Part examines the changing roles of women who had been housewives but were assuming jobs in the defense industry. A number of fair-to-good quality, captioned, archival photographs appear in each volume. All three books will be useful for reports and for teachers seeking to add a ``different twist'' to their World War II units.Douglas K. Dillon, Lakota Freshman School, West Chester, OHBook Details
