But This War Had Such Promise (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn] [redesign 1979]

This collection gathers Doonesbury strips from the late 1970s, focusing on the Vietnam War's aftermath and the cultural shifts of the era. Garry Trudeau's sharp satire follows characters like Duke, Honey, and Zonker as they navigate the disillusionment and absurdities of post-war America. The title reflects the bitter irony of a conflict that promised much but delivered little, a theme that runs through these classic strips.
