Gr 7 Up—This rigorous A-Z set will be valuable for defining vocabulary such as "friendly fire" or "leaflet bombing," and identifying people, places, tactics, and campaigns. Included are numerous Russian, Japanese, and German terms such as "Wunderwaffen" (wonder weapons), and "Kotel" (a battle of encirclement). Entries vary in length, from mere definitions to 17 pages (on Adolf Hitler), and are often followed up with "see" or "see-also" references and additional reading suggestions. Appended is an extensive bibliography and a general index with careful cross-referencing and bold main entry notations. There are no illustrations. A first stop for researchers.—Vicki Reutter, Cazenovia Jr. Sr. High School, NY
