ALT Illustrated book cover for Step Into History, Book 4: World War I and II. At the top, a black banner displays the words “National Park Service,” “U.S. Department of the Interior,” and “Andersonville National Historic Site,” alongside the National Park Service arrowhead logo. Below, large white lettering reads “Step Into History,” with “Book 4” underneath. Three dark military aircraft fly across a sunset sky filled with orange, pink, yellow, and blue clouds. In the foreground, a dark military helmet rests on an upright rifle surrounded by tangled barbed wire and broken fence posts. Beyond the wire, a muddy landscape stretches toward the silhouettes of destroyed buildings. Large white lettering at the bottom reads “World War I and II.”
