The Great War July 1, 1916: The first Day of the Battle of the Somme

The Great War: July 1, 1916: The first Day of the Battle of the Somme an Illustrated Panorama  by Joe Sacco, 20 pages
An intricate, interesting and informative piece of graphic literature that shows detail and imagined detail of one of the deadliest battles of the great war. There book is really one long page. There is no text in this elaborately  folded single page work between the covers. There is an accompanying 16 page booklet, though. Adam Hoschild, who wrote part of the booklet for this work, also covered this ground recently in his
To End All Wars:A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918.
