Each of the four volumes in the Just the Facts series World War II, covering various WWII-related topics, is amazingly detailed given the approximate half-hour length of each tape. "Why Pearl Harbor?" examines the controversy that still surrounds the ''day of infamy" that brought the United States into the war, "Home Front U.S.A." examines the changes in American society wrought by the war, "Minority Units: Profiles of Courage and Sacrifice" looks at the heroism of minority units in U.S. armed forces, and "The Atomic Bomb: The End or the Beginning?" presents a well-balanced evaluation of President Truman's decision to use this terrible weapon in order to bring the war in the Pacific arena to a close. Offering a wealth of information on World War II in one package, this series will be a boon to both students doing research and military enthusiasts. Recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P. (J. Carlson)
