Book Review: Sea WarfareDespite high interest, there are surprisingly few titles for middle-graders that explore the modern military. This title in the Modern Warfare series helps fill that gap with a brief look at the U.S. Navy, starting with a short introduction that defines, in broad strokes, what the Navy does and what a sailors life is like. Later chapters focus on aircraft carriers, submarines, warships, and the Coast Guard. Simply structured sentences make this suitable for both eager and reluctant readers, and the plentiful color photos, many filled with action, will further satisfy. Text boxes strengthen each chapter with quotes from military personnel and interesting factsGillian Engberg, Booklist
