My Review:
We recently picked up this book for our history-loving 10yo and love it for the amazing visuals that bring history to life. My 10yo already had a good overview of world history and a special interest in WW2 and WW1, which are both covered in the book along with lesser-known wars. Despite his previous knowledge, he still found this book fascinating, gaining a new perspective on how to piece all that knowledge together.
I'm always impressed with DK's layouts. I'm not much of a nonfiction person myself and still love their books.
