Treaties, Trenches, Mud, and Blood: A World War I Tale
by Nathan Hale
Learn about the most well-known battles (and little-known secrets) of World War I with author-illustrator Nathan Hale's Treaties, Trenches, Mud, and Blood, a Hazardous Tale from the New York Times bestselling graphic novel series In 1914, the world's biggest countries (and some of its smallest, too) were gearing up for a massive fight. Land, history, geography--each country went to war for different reasons and with different resources.But most ended up the same: sending their young men to fight for their lives in the mud, on the sea, and in the air, in a conflict that would eventually claim more than nine million lives. World War I, The Great War, or The War to End All Wars, was fought along thousands of miles of frontline trenches, with mechanized weapons, and dangerous new weapons like machine guns and mustard gas. It left behind a world that was scarred, angry, and traumatized. Its horrifying lessons are still being examined today.These books are, quite simply, brilliant. . . . Thrilling, bloody, action-packed stories from American history. --New York TimesNathan Hale's Hazardous Tales Read them all--if you dare One Dead Spy: A Revolutionary War Tale (#1)Big Bad Ironclad : A Civil War Tale (#2)Donner Dinner Party: A Pioneer Tale (#3)Treaties, Trenches, Mud, and Blood: A World War I Tale (#4)The Underground Abductor: An Abolitionist Tale about Harriet Tubman (#5)Alamo All-Stars: A Texas Tale (#6)Raid of No Return: A World War II Tale of the Doolittle Raid (#7)Lafayette : A Revolutionary War Tale (#8)Major Impossible: A Grand Canyon Tale (#9)Blades of Freedom: A Tale of Haiti, Napoleon, and the Louisiana Purchase (#10)Cold War Correspondent: A Korean War Tale (#11)Above the Trenches: A WWI Flying Ace Tale (#12)Bones and Bersekers: 13 True Tales of Terror from American History (#13)Web of War: A World War II Tale (#14)
