 Graphic novel following three young Yurok men sent to fight in World War I. There is a lot of action in here. About half the book covers the Argonne Forest battle the Yurok soldiers fought in. The general topic of the book reminded me of George Morton-Jack’s history of the British Indian Army in WWI, Army of Empire, so I wish this book had more about the Yurok soldiers’ experiences training, travelling through, & living in other parts of the U.S. & in France. Overall a good read.

The art is great although it’s almost impossible to understand what’s going on in the war scenes (as is probably appropriate).
