'The evaluation of each newspaper report as an historical document here makes these books useful tools for early to mid-teens getting into the swing of appraising the information presented to them in a critical and objective manner.' -- Evening Echo 20030201 'There is a wealth of information in this book which is fascinating... The format is well regulated and accessible... This would be a useful resource in any school library.' -- School Library Journal 20030703
