Reviewed with Christine Hatt's Catherine the Great.
Gr. 8-11. Launching the new Judge for Yourself series of thought-provoking biographies are books about two figures whose deeds were particularly controversial: Catherine the Great and Mao Zedong. The subject's life story comprises the bulk of each title, followed by pairs of essays presenting opposite stances on several key issues: Was Catherine involved in the murders that helped guarantee her throne? Were Chinese women better off under Mao? Each argument is backed by quotes and statistics demonstrating how "facts . . . can be used to support completely different points of view." That's all to the good, but it seems ironic that a series striving to simulate how historians use sources neglects to include its own documentation, apart from the material used to bolster the for-and-against arguments. Despite that, these books are still slick, and smartly conceived, and they will prove useful for triggering debates in high-school social studies classrooms and for underscoring the elusiveness of historical "truth." Glossy pages, maps, and full-color illustrations (Mao has many black-and-white photos from the period) add visual appeal. REVWR
