"Interesting WWI Book" Topic

Hello Gents,
This Christmas I received an unusual book on WWI, and I thought I'd mention it here on the off chance that some of you may not of heard of it. The title is The Great War by Joe Sacco. Sacco is a highly talented artist and in this book he depicts the first day of the Battle of the Somme in exquisite line drawings that beg to be studied; the little details he includes are really amazing. The masses of men milling about in the trenches, waiting to go over the top at the German lines are rendered in a series of fine black and white drawings, all the more powerful for being "silent"--there are no captions, only the pictures themselves.
A booklet about the battle and presentation is included, but is seperate from the artwork itself. What makes this particularly interesting is that the drawings fold out from the book in what becomes a long unbroken portayal of that terrible day. Fully extended I think it reaches to twenty feet or so.
So this is not a typical book on the war/battle, but is very interesting visually nonetheless. It is beautifully produced on heavy grade paper and comes in a sturdy slipcase. If this sort of thing interests you, you might take a look at Sacco's work. Just thought I'd mention the book in case it slipped your notice!

Very intriguing book. The style of the artwork is not what I expected but as you mentioned, the details are interesting. Lots to see in every drawing. Thanks for mentioning it!

I heard about this book on radio, and had to order it.

One source is Amazon:

And here is a taste of the cartoon style:

Sorry, I should have said it is a rather cartoony style, though still a very attractive book. Thank you for the image, DyeHard. I don't know how to do that yet!

Reminds me a bit of the great work on WWI by Jacques Tardi
