Created 15 years after the completion of his Eisner Award-winning WWI masterwork It Was the War of the Trenches (2010), this is no mere sequel or extension, but a brand new, wholly individual graphic novel that serves as a companion piece to Trenches but can be read entirely on its own. This unnerving and poignant masterpiece shares with Trenches its sustained sense of outrage, pitch-black gallows humour and impeccably scrupulous historical exactitude.
