The Year's Best Graphic Novel Award, Comicon India 2014
"This historical graphic novel highlights many of the major battles
and events of World War I, from the assassination of Archduke Franz
Ferdinand to the armistice between Germany and the Allies. . . this
account gives readers an insight into the effects—physical, mental,
and emotional—that the war had on those who fought. Cowsill
presents an excellent balance—providing big-picture information
about the important events and key players of World War I, as well
as giving an understanding of what life was like for the individual
men in the trenches. Sharma depicts the horrors of life on the
battlefield in a way that is authentic but not overly intimidating
to sensitive readers. Upon completion of this narrative, teens will
have an understanding of the enormous impact of World War I, both
its far geographic reach and the enormous number of lives lost. At
the Great War's 100th anniversary, this volume will appeal to those
with very little knowledge of the event, as well as those who are
well-versed in the history of this period." —Sarah Reid, Broome
