  This book explains how the war started, what it was about and who it involved. It describes the major battles and looks at what life was like for the soldiers in the trenches, the pilots in the air, the sailors at sea and the civilians back home. Written in the lively style common to this series, the author deals with this difficult subject in a sensitive and skilful manner, introducing humour only where appropriate. It includes black line illustrations throughout.

  A bind-up of the existing titles World War I and World War II , this book provides a compact piece of reference, a book suitable for both home and school. It describes the causes of each war, how the battles were fought (including the Battle of the Somme of World War I and the Blitz of World War II) and explains civilian life as well as the life of the soldiers. The topic is lightened in the traditional Bob Fowke style, with cartoons and quizzes.
