The 'History's Moments of Truth' series focuses on "the lessons of history" with an emphasis on the values and principles that have guided decision-making over centuries. The goal of the series is character building and ethical education for kids and teens.
This book is a collection of historical anecdotes and facts demonstrating how poor judgement, hubris, and volcanic ego cause epic nosedives, and how sometimes a humble 'my bad' can save the day.
"War or Peace? Tough Choices with Consequences" delivers clear ethical lessons that have emerged from war after war, from antiquity through the 20th century. It also prompts our kids to practice strategic thinking, analyzing which decisions were right, which decisions were wrong, and why.
