    Unforgettable History!

    Great Battles for Boys is the best-selling history series that sends young readers "into the fight." Boys learn about the military leaders, weapons, and strategies that won—or lost—the world's most important military battles.

    Perfect for Reluctant Readers!

    Filled with historic photographs, maps, and short, powerful chapters, "Great Battles for Boys" captures the attention of even reluctant readers. History leaps off the page through the blood, sweat, and sacrifice of men at war. 
    In this episode of the best-selling series learn about some of America's greatest battles:

    • Bunker Hill: When ragtag colonists fought the mighty British Red Coats—and won.
    • Saratoga: Untrained American militias taught British General "Gentleman Johnny" Burgoyne a hard lesson.
    • Gettysburg: The devastating slaughter of brother against brother in the Civil War, provoking Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
    • Antietam: The crucial invasion, gone horribly wrong.
    • Vicksburg: One Southern city struggling to survive General U.S. Grant's siege.
    • Little Big Horn: What really happened at Custer's Last Stand?
    • The Alamo: Find out why Texans say, "Remember the Alamo!"
    • San Jacinto: One of the world's shortest battles and a surprise victory that won America its southwestern territory.
    • The Rough Riders: Teddy Roosevelt, medal of honor winner, and the men who took San Juan Hill.
    • The Lost Battalion of WWI: Some of the brave Americans who fought for survival in the Great War.

    "Combining his uniquely conversational style with myriad historical facts, plenty of interesting photos, and lots of fascinating, little-known anecdotes, Joe takes readers "behind the scenes" and helps them to experience this vitally important chapter in our Nation's history."
    The Reverend Charles F. Reynolds Chief Warrant Officer 3, USMC, Ret.

    Joe Giorello

    Joe Giorello teaches a highly popular middle-grade class for boys called “Great Battles," based on this book series. Growing up in a large Italian family in Queens, New York, Joe listened to firsthand stories of relatives who served in World War II and Vietnam. Their experiences sparked his love of history and spurred him to study military history. He’s since acquired a vast library of books that stretch from ancient battles to modern warfare. As both a teacher and an author , Joe’s goal is to show young people that “freedom isn’t free” and that history is anything but boring. When he’s not teaching about historic battles, weapons, and warfare, Joe can be found playing blues around the Seattle area with his band, The Fabulous Roof Shakers. He enjoys hearing from readers. Contact him at his website, www.greatbattlebooks.com, and at the Facebook page for Great Battles: https:// www.facebook.com/greatbattles
