Series Review: Weapons of War
"Both advanced middle graders and older but less confident readers with an interest in weaponry will find these extensive surveys well worth poring over. . .capped with generous lists of further resources, these books are equally suitable for assignment use, casual browsing, or riveted study by young enthusiasts."
