There is only so much our school's history books can relay about the activities in any given war. There have been many untold stories that don't make the standard selections. That's why I love books like this one. This book gives a great look at some of the lesser told missions that have been omitted from your standard high school text book. The author takes you through five stories that you may not have heard before. I found the one regarding the Soviet Sniper the most interesting. My 13 year old is particularly interested in WWII. I found these books give just enough information to let her learn more about these topics with out bogging her down in an endless tome that could inevitably lose her attention. The information was clear and to the point and I know it will be a great addition to our curriculum.
