From Booklist:
Reviewed with Adrian Gilbert's Going to War in World War I.
Gr. 4-6. Whether the sharp sounds of gunfire, the loud booming of cannons, or the clash of sword against shield, much of history is defined and described by its military battles. Each volume in the Armies of the Past series describes the motivation, dress, weaponry, transportation, and strategy as men and women of a particular time period prepare for war. Numerous illustrations, including artwork, photos, and maps, make the books visually pleasing, and a glossary adds to their value. Each volume also features short insets with bits of information about aspects of everyday life and the impact war had on society. Violence is presented without sensationalism. Libraries looking for a different view of history will find these books competent supplemental resources. Heather Hepler
