Spooked!: How a Radio Broadcast and the War of the Worlds Sparked the 1938 Invasion of America by Gail Jarrow

4.0

I raced through the account of creating and broadcasting the War of the Worlds but stalled a bit on the fallout. Still, this is very very well done YA NF. The photographs and illustrations are well chosen and perfectly placed. The relevance to our times carefully drawn and it’s a great angle from which to present the late 1930s. I’m curious to see if my students will enjoy it.
