Overview

Elaborate ruses, military fakery, and disinformation! Wonderful stories, wonderful illustrations. Ernest R. May, Charles Warren Professor of American History, Harvard University Hoodwinked plunges readers into the secret strategies and underground battles that helped turn the tide of war. Both sides used propaganda, misdirection, and espionage to gain the upper hand, including phantom armies, fake battle plans, and amazing acts of sabotage by resistance groups. Presented with historical accuracy and engaging storytelling, and bursting with sidebars, archival photographs, color maps, and dramatic illustrations, Hoodwinked tells 18 true, gripping stories from both sides of World War II.

The book is well illustrated throughout with full-page paintings and archival photos.... The layout is attractive and should appeal to young readers. Readers in the age group for whom the book is targeted should have little difficulty understanding the text. It is very easy to read and suitable for classroom use. Recommended.--Thomas F.
