Treaties, Trenches, Mud, and Blood: A World War I Tale

New York Times Bestselling Series!
"These books are, quite simply, brilliant. . . . Thrilling, bloody, action-packed stories from American history." --New York Times

Learn about the most well-known battles (and little-known secrets) of World War I with the New York Times bestselling graphic novel series!

In 1914, the world's biggest countries (and some of its smallest, too) were gearing up for a massive fight. Land, history, geography--each country went to war for different reasons and with different resources. But most ended up the same: sending their young men to fight for their lives in the mud, on the sea, and in the air, in a conflict that would eventually claim more than 9 million lives.

World War I, "The Great War," or "The War to End All Wars" was fought along thousands of miles of front-line trenches, with mechanized weapons, and dangerous new weapons like machine guns and mustard gas. It left behind a world that was scarred, angry, and traumatized. Its horrifying lessons are still being studied today.
