Written by Alan Cowsill and Illustrated by Lalit Kumar Sharma, World War One takes readers on a journey through the war to end all wars. Following a sequence of actual British soldiers, the award-winning graphic novel uses dark humor and vivid illustrations to bring World War 1 to life. As a veteran, I admire sneaky humor. As a teacher, I appreciate the book's focus on causes of the war, inhumanity of battle, technological advances, and scope of a war laden with lessons for the world to remember. This book is useful to those just beginning their study of the topic and those with deep prior knowledge of WW1. The illustrations really are something! It didn't win Comic Con's 2014 award for best graphic novel writer, penciller, and inker team for nothing. ( )
