Write a book review on A People’s History of the Second World War: Resistance versus Empire <\/strong><\/span>by Donny Gluckstein , between 1200-1750 words in length.<\/p>\n

Your
\nreview should have at least two goals: <\/strong>First, to describe the content
\nof the book, and second, to provide a critical evaluation that gives
\nyour thoughts of the book\u2019s quality.<\/p>\n

Your introduction should include a thesis statement: What was the book about, and what is your critical opinion. (Hint<\/strong>:
\nWhen I write, sometimes, I am unclear as to what my thesis is until I
\nhave written the the paper. It can work to write (or at least revise)
\nyour introduction after the rest of your paper is finished).<\/p>\n

Do
\nnot spend more than one-third (total) of the paper summarizing the
\nbook. The summary should consist of a discussion and highlights of the
\nmajor arguments, features, trends, concepts, themes, ideas, and
\ncharacteristics of the book. While you may use direct quotes from the
\nbook (make sure you always give the page number), such quotes should
\nnever be the bulk of the summary. Much of your grade will depend on how
\nwell you describe and explain the material in your own words. <\/p>\n

Throughout
\nyour paper, interspersed with the summary, I want you to provide a
\ncritique of the book. Demonstrate that you know the author\u2019s argument,
\nthat you understand the evidence he provides, and discuss why you find
\nthe argument compelling (or not).<\/p>\n
