ANALYTICAL BOOK REVIEWS:

Rationale: This analytical book review will critically examine an important scholarly book covering some aspect of United States participation in World War II.
Form: Each book review will be approximately 1500 words long, although this is a general guideline and not an absolute requirement. The main objective of this analytical book review should be to comprehensively cover the three sections of the following book review outline:

Part I: This is a brief outline of the contents of the book. In the space of one or two paragraphs you should be able to convey the parameters of the book’s contents. DO NOT simply reproduce the book’s table of contents.
Part II: Here is the place for a careful summary of the author’s thesis. The thesis is the primary idea the author is trying to prove and convince the reader to accept. You must first identify the thesis and then show how the author either substantiates or fails to substantiate this thesis. This will undoubtedly take you a page or two to do a good job.
Part III: This is the most important part of your book review. Here is where you describe your reaction to the book. Some of the questions you must answer include: Do you agree or disagree with the book’s conclusions? Why? Did the book support or contradict what you read in your textbook on the same subject? (You MUST quote some of the relevant passages from both books.) Did you detect any biases on the part of the author? What was the author’s background and why did he or she write the book? How in your opinion could the book have been improved? You must be specific and keep in mind there are NO perfect books. Did you enjoy reading the book? Why or why not? Would you recommend it to others?
