Goddamn This War!

I read Tardi's classic graphic novel, It Was a War of the Trenches, a few years ago and loved it as much as one can love a book of that level of horror. In this book, Tardi returns to World War One, drawing on the reminiscences of his grandfather; Tardi recounts the French experience.

The first-person narrative really shows the horror and tragedy of war. A commitment to telling truths is furthered by the presence of black and Asian colonial troops, who are still largely written out of the mainstream depictions of this conflict.

It wasn't just the British lions… show more.
