History is fun, and photos help a person understand the past. Thus, I enjoy photos, because I analyze them in detail. Using a magnifying glass I actually look closely to spot interesting items normally unseen by the casual reader. Since I have done some intel analysis in the past, based on photos, I know good photos tell a story about what is going on. However, a book needs to be more than good photos. Unfortunately that is about all one really finds in this book. The text is extremely abbreviated, so much so it is nearly irrelevant. And that is the problem. History tells a great story; however, a few blurbs do not a story make -- at least not a good story.
These books are designed to get teenagers interested in the subject matter (I think), but even teenagers need a good story line. The short passages in this book are not adequate to convey a story.
Thus, two stars.
