( ) I'm not one to cry while reading, especially a graphic novel. But Scott Chandler has done such a fantastic job here...the way he tells this story...in a non-linear way that isn't gimmicky, but is exactly what you need to understand what's going on in these people's lives, and in the lives of their grandchildren looking back...I don't want to say anything more. It's very touching, and interesting, and well drawn and even funny. And yeah, totally made me cry a little. Wow, such a good graphic novel. AND CANADIAN! Scott Chantler's grandfather, Reginald Law Chantler (known by his middle name, Law), served with the Highland Light Infantry of Canada in the Second World War along with his best friend, Jack Chrysler. Their story is told here in the form of a beautifully illustrated graphic memoir. From Law's childhood and adulthood in southwestern Ontario, we're taken to England, where the Elgin Regiment is trained up to be part of the invasion force in 1944. The drawings are excellent at capturing the joshing around of the soldiers, the moments when time stands still in the horror of battle, and the fleeting glimpses of beauty and calm. It's very well done and definitely worth reading if you like stories about the individuals behind important historical battles. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In March of 1943, Scott Chantler's grandfather, Law Chantler, shipped out across the Atlantic for active service with the Highland Light Infantry of Canada, along with his best friend, Jack a fellow officer. Not long afterward, they would find themselves making a rocky crossing of the English Channel, about to take part in one of the most pivotal and treacherous military operations of World War II: the Allied invasion of Normandy. Two Generals tells the story of what happened there through the eyes of these two young men who risked their lives for the Allied cause. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
