As a result, young people are bombarded with images of Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, battles taking place in Iraq and Afghanistan, and prisoners of war held in Guantanamo Bay. Using related images set in a magazine-like design, this series examines a number of developing events related to the war on terrorism, reflecting the latest, most up-to-date information available. With lively, straightforward writing and dramatic images from the front, these books offer a gripping narrative to complement and enhance today's headlines. Focusing on the reconstruction in postwar Iraq, this book traces American efforts to restore order and rebuild the physical and civilian infrastructure, and establish a new political order. Readers will learn that in spite of the stubborn presence of insurgents, there have been successes for the U.S. as it struggles to help establish democracy in Iraq. Written for the reluctant reader, this comprehensive book uses spectacular images and the most up-to-date information available to make this a must-have title in every school library. |
