by Eva March Tappan (Author)

Written in the year the war ended, this book is a succinct overview of World War I for middle grade readers. This time period is often overlooked in middle grade history studies but is so important to understanding the modern world. Major battles are covered, but the author also includes other topics, such as the use of animals, medical treatments, and the use of weapons in the war. Recommended for 5-8th grade.
