C'était la guerre des tranchées #[nn]

This volume collects the complete graphic novel by Tardi, a harrowing and unflinching look at the daily horrors of trench warfare during World War I. Originally serialized in (À suivre), the work weaves together multiple soldier narratives to depict the futility, mud, and death of the Western Front from 1914 to 1918. Tardi's stark black-and-white art and documentary approach make this a landmark of bande dessinée and anti-war literature.
