Summary:

In World War II: From the Rise of the Nazi Party to the Dropping of the Atomic Bomb, middle school students delve into the history of this global conflict. Kids read about the realities of the war as it was experienced by ordinary citizens and soldiers, regardless of which side they were fighting for-food rations that left everyone hungry, bombings that caused whole cities to live in a constant state of uncertainty, and the Holocaust. Another result of World War II? The dropping of the atomic bomb, which annihilated between 130,000 and 226,000 people and showed the world what humans are capable of when faced with a desperate situation.
