Biggest, Baddest Book of Warriors by Anders Hanson and Elissa Mann*

This book is an awesome pick for reluctant boy readers!
Lots of visuals (photographs, illustrations, maps etc.).  The information, although brief, summarizes the person well.
Individuals included are:
-Spartans
-Hannibal
-Viking Warriors
-Medieval Knights
-Genghis Khan and the Mongols
-Alexander the Great
-Joan of Arc
-Samurai
-William Wallace
-"Mad Jack" Churchill
We only read about the Spartans in this book since that was our area of study but will be borrowing it again when we study the other individuals later this year.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
