Discover the compelling story of World War II through the eyes of middle-schooler Emmett Kane. Offering young readers a unique perspective on many of history’s defining moments, Emmett surveys the underpinnings and major battles of the WW II from beginning to end. His brisk pace, photos, illustrations, and illuminating statistics keep readers engaged and introduce the leaders, soldiers, and tactics that put out a world on fire and left one of enduring democracy. Emmett dedicates this book to all of those who have served and those who are still serving in the fight for democracy and to his Grandpa Carl, who served two tours in Vietnam and inspires him to fight for veterans. All proceeds from this book will be donated to Veterans for Peace, a non-profit dedicated to educating the public about the full cost of war, healing the wounds of war, and building a just and peaceful society.
