From award winning writer Gary Reed and comic book illustrator Charles Yates comes an extraordinary look at World War One and the anguish and horrors French soldiers faced on the European Western Front battle field as they squared off against an advancing Imperial German Army. Fought like no war before it, the European superpowers saw this "Great War" as an opportunity for quick glory and territorial gain. But instead soon found themselves engaged in a new form of trench warfare that dragged on for four bloody years and saw millions of soldiers needlessly killed on both sides.
