Narrated by Suzanne Toren.On the night of October 30, 1938, thousands of Americans panicked when they believed that Martians had invaded Earth.

This book for young readers explores in riveting detail the false panic created by the famous War of the Worlds radio broadcast from 1938, as well as the repercussions of "fake news" today.
