Series Review: Essential Histories: War and Conflict in Modern Times"Clearly written for a high school audience, the hooks provide an in-depth look at politics, battles, and strategies. Gulf War, for example, covers not only important individual battles, but also discusses why a full-scale invasion was not completed, and provides an understanding of how the events of that war led to the current invasion of Iraq. The texts offer civilian perspectives on the action as well as detailed insight into the motivations, events, and outcomes of the wars."
