Great at home or in the classroom

I’m a teacher and I used this book in one of my classroom lessons. We read through the first part of a battle as a class and then they discussed the options and each table picked one. Then I played a video that ran allay by play of the battle and then I asked my students to write a reflection about their option and the real outcome ie who was right and why? It was so much fun the students loved it. You could use battles from each segment in history you are covering. I had actually seen a teacher do this with a different battle during my practicum.

An excelant role-playing book

I first saw this book in my school library and immeadiatley read it up. This book puts you in the shoes of some of the greatist military minds in history, including Eisenhower, Schwartzcoph, Hitler, and others. Fans of roll playing games will find this short read very enjoyable, especialy when you find out that, had YOU been in charge, Grmany would have won WWI. I recomend this book to anyone who likes history, especialy military history. Note: This book is very short, so don't waste money on a purchase. Find it at a library instead
