[Duane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series focuses on the different aspects of the world's militaries and how they function. This book focuses on the different technologies that armies use to battle with. Filled with amazing photographs, I can't believe how much I learned by reading this book! A great series for preteen and up readers who enjoy military themed books. A great book to add to your library collection.
