1900s Editorial Review
The "U.S. Ghost Army: The Master Illusionists of World War II" is an illustrated account of how the Americans used inflatable tanks and trucks along with other forms of deception in order to fool the Germans during World War II. While the book is an interesting read, it is important to note that it is not a traditional book, but rather a graphic account that includes dialogue boxes like comic books. While the illustrations might provide some introductory value for a younger audience, they might not contain enough concrete information for anyone who can read at a 6th grade level or higher. Despite this, it is an engaging approach to introduce teenagers to this key component of the Allied victory in Normandy.
