FINALLY!
Format: Paperback
I was pleased to finally find an historical series written for young boys that neither "cartoonizes" war nor adopts a satirical, demeaning tone. Rather, these books depict the true sacrifices of the men involved in these conflicts. The facts are the facts. There is no politically correct hogwash clouding the child's view of the event. These are more mature historical articles about pivotal events no longer discussed in our public school! These books glorify the ideals scrapped by post-modernists -- bravery, chivalry, and heroism -- ideals that once defined masculinity and limited its so-called "toxicity." As a mother raising masculine gentlemen, I will continue purchasing these fine books! Thanks, Mr. Giorello! Keep writing!
