2012: A perfect companion piece to Tardi's It Was the War of the Trenches, Goddamn This War! is a new, full-color graphic novel-length exploration of World War I that is broken down in a more chronological, historical way than its double Eisner Award-winning precursor (although it shares Trenches' sense of outrage, gallows humor, and scrupulous historical exactitude) compounded by an extensive historical text section in the back, stuffed with spectacular, fascinating, and horrific period photographs.
