Everything about WWII was not set in stone - the Axis powers - America, Russia, and England - are not always on the same page. In fact, the trio could fracture if the leaders can’t meet together and iron out their differences and agree to a plan. Meanwhile, Hitler and his spies would give anything if they could take these three world leaders out.
Very interesting - especially for those who know a lot about WWII already. It is a LOT of book for a novice. Meltzer goes back into the origins of WWII to set the scene, which can quickly become unwieldy for a middle school reader - even many high schoolers. If you know you need this for a specific class, go for it. Otherwise, tell your teachers about it.
