Worthwhile reading for children to learn this decade
Young people need to be exposed to the events that shaped our modern world. In this book, the events of the years 1910 through 1919 are introduced through text and pictures.This is an era that is sorely overlooked in history classes. While recent years are of course foremost in our minds, there was more change in this decade than any other. The old order of Europe was completely removed, where monarchies dissolved to bereplaced by republics, some of which were more dictatorial than the royal houses could ever have been.Read more

A solid introduction to the roots of contemporary terrorism
John Hamilton's "Behind the Terror" volume in the War on Terrorism series begins with the important question most young students would most like to have answered: "Why do they hate us?"After all, the idea that people would deliberately fly airlines into skyscrapers is foreign to our way of thinking.Consequently, in searching for the answers, Hamilton tries to explain the roots and beliefs of the terrorists responsible for what happened on September 11th.Read more
