Inside the Situation Room: How a Photograph Showed America Defeating Osama bin Laden

Description

On-point historical photographs combined with strong narration bring the story of the raid that captured bin Laden to life. Kids will feel as though they are in the room with President Barack Obama Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the others in the cabinet who called for and monitored the raid. Primary source quotations make the event feel immediate and photographs by the White House photographer add to the immediacy and the understanding of the risks and dangers posed by the ultimately successful mission.

STARRED REVIEW! The Captured History series continues to be top-tier nonfiction. . . .The texts for both books are thoughtfully and comprehensively written, and are bolstered by many photographs as well chosen as the cover shot. The photographers of these now-iconic images are also profiled. Excellent choices for history shelves.-- "Booklist"
