By Susan Berg Heeg
Just before Donald Berg was eighteen, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, becoming an active part of the largest war the world had ever known. During the next three years he faithfully wrote letters to his family, describing his experiences.
With minimal intrusion into the narrative that her father weaves so well in his letters, Susan Heeg helps readers understand their context in a larger picture of the war, providing introductions, photos, a glossary and time line. Voyage to Victory is both an inviting book for readers of all ages and an excellent classroom source for upper elementary, middle, and high school.
