About the Author:
Joe Giorello teaches a highly popular class for boys called “Great Battles." Part of a large Italian family in Queens, New York, Joe heard firsthand stories of relatives who served in World War II and Vietnam. Their experiences sparked his love of history and spurred him to study military history. As both a teacher and an author, Joe’s goal is to show young people how exciting history can be. When he’s not teaching about historic battles, weapons, and warfare, Joe can be found playing blues around the Seattle area with his band, The Fabulous Roof Shakers. He enjoys hearing from readers.
