Series review: Machines That Won The War

These galleries offer a varied, browser-tempting smorgasbord of wheeled, floating, and flying vehicles, as well as hand and even chemical weapons. Each of the 20 alphabetically arranged entries includes one-to-three captioned photos or reproductions, most of which show the selected weapon in action, along with an Eyewitness comment from an actual user or a sidebar, and brief remarks about the weapons development, history, strengths, and (rare in galleries of military gear aimed at younger audiences) weaknesses. print and web resources will be helpful to readers with a sustained interest.
