War carries many requirements and systems. Even the people who fight the war must go through training systems. I knew nothing about warfare until I read this book, Dirty Bombs And Shell Shock by Leon Gray. I never knew that war required so many things and that the outcomes could be extreme. The cover of the book caught my eye quickly, as if it was begging me to open it. The pages themselves were full of very specific information. Each individual page talked about a certain topic thoroughly. The pictures looked puzzling to me, but thanks to the captions, I was able to understand what each picture was saying. The call out cards also gave some additional information about the topic that really helped me understand the topic more. There was also a timeline of events similar to the topics and an index. The glossary gave the definitions of the unknown words, for which I was thankful. I’d recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about war or be a soldier someday to fight these wars.
