Synopsis

World War 1 is one of the least-understood events in United States history. It's easy to see why: unlike the dynamic World War II, this earlier global conflict has little battlefield movement and no clear moral narrative. Who really won? Who really lost? This conflict radically changed the world, but the years between 1870 and 1929 are a blur to most Americans. This graphic adventure explains the war that ended the sunlit Victorian era and catapulted the U.S. into a dramatic century of revolution and global responsibility. This book will help classroom teachers and home educators explain the complicated politics and geography of World War I. Plus the drawings of the biplanes are cool.

About this title

About the Author:

Bentley Boyd began drawing Chester the Crab for the Daily Press of Newport News, Virginia, in 1995. He has also drawn elephants and donkeys as a political cartoonist, and long ago he drew his teachers during class (but none of them as donkeys or elephants or crabs). Bentley studied History and Literature at Harvard University and drew for the college newspaper in the distant 1980s. As the son of teachers, he is proud to have created 32 graphic history adventures to help today's students better understand the past actions and choices that led us to today.
