Horn Book (Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 CST 2004)

Both books in this series detail turning points in World War II. The sinking of the Bismarck signaled the end of the battleship's dominance; and the Battle of the Bulge proved to be Hitler's final offensive and established the worth of the U.S. Army. Though confusing in the descriptions of troop movements, the books provide good general overviews and are liberally illustrated. Timeline. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Great Battles titles: Sinking of the [cf4]Bismarck[cf3] and Battle of the Bulge.]
