The 22-book American Milestone series is featured as "Retailers Recommended Fabulous Products" in the August 2012 edition of Educational Dealer magazine. As Japanese Zeros hummed in the skies over Pearl Harbor, World War II was two years in the history books. Three dictators with a desire for power and world domination formed The Axis, a globe-spanning web of destruction and human rights violations. The United States, powerful but still recovering from the Great Depression, had chosen to remain uninvolved. But as soon as the first Zero dropped its bomb on a U.S. warship, the Sleeping Giant - America - awoke.

The citizens of the United States came together with such unprecedented resolve that history could only have turned they way it did. In this book, kids will learn about the World War that truly spanned the globe and produced "the greatest generation" in U.S. history. They will float with paratroopers, rid with generals in their Jeeps, and dive to the darkest depths in vintage submarines. Kids will explore the history, geography, and social issues behind World War II - from the first shots fired in the invasion of Poland to the most explosive end a war on earth has ever known.
