Assassination in Sarajevo: The Trigger for World War I (Point of Impact)
Grade 4-9-These titles each focus on a single event, providing  background for the occurrence and explaining its impact on world  history. Black-and-white and full-color photographs,  reproductions, and maps clarify complicated information. In the  first book, Allan traces the problems faced by the Irish to a  number of things, but mostly to the situation created by the  English that condemned them to a life of poverty. Students will  also learn the reason for the bitterness between the Irish and  English that is still evident today. Assassination discusses the  events leading up to the eve of World War I. The alliances among  the various nations are described clearly and succinctly.  Additionally, Ross explains how these alliances brought the  nations of the world to the brink of confrontation. Negative  reactions to the war in antiwar novels and poems are included.  Students will find both of these books useful for research.Lana  Miles, Duchesne Academy, Houston, TXCopyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
