For kids who enjoy reading about war, this is catnip.--Booklist

For kids who enjoy reading about war, this is catnip. -Booklist This engaging, well-written text flows smoothly with good transitions among ideas...this is a dependable, interesting title that would be a useful addition for middle school libraries, or for high school libraries with large populations of low-level or struggling readers. -VOYA The intent here...is to offer fascinating case studies in the way deceptive strategy augments (or even supplants) fire power, and Janeczko carries the day. -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books A top selection for those serious about military studies. -School Library Journal
