A surprisingly detailed accounting of World War I for young adults July 12, 2008
Desperate Glory: the Story of WW I is a surprisingly detailed accounting of World War I for young adults in grade school and high school. Each page of Desperate Glory spotlights a different aspect of The Great War, from Canada's and Australia's participation to the fall of the Russian monarchy to the rise of the tank (a.k.a. "The Devil's Chariots") and much more. Vintage black-and-white photography and other illustrations, a list of recommended resources for further reading, a World War I timeline, and an index round out this highly accessible chronicle that neither glamorizes nor softens the terrible impact of this violent global conflict. Highly recommended for grade school library and children's library collections.
