YAOdysseys in History series.
This competent series examines major events in world history with a focus on context and aftermath. Bodden deftly zooms in and out on the relevant historical and cultural details surrounding each event, creating a clear and extremely accessible account of complex topics. Well-chosen photographs, sidebars, and pull quotes complement the even-handed prose. Glossy, attractive page design adds further appeal. Bib., ind. Review covers these Odysseys in History titles: The Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, The Holocaust, and The 9/11 Terror Attacks.
