A beautifully illustrated and poignant graphic memoir that tells the
story of World War II from an Everyman's perspective.
In March of 1943, Scott Chantler's grandfather, Law Chantler, shipped
out across the Atlantic for active service with the Highland Light
Infantry of Canada, along with his best friend, Jack, a fellow officer.
Not long afterward, they would find themselves making a rocky crossing
of the English Channel, about to take part in one of the most pivotal
and treacherous military operations of World War II: the Allied invasion
of Normandy. Two Generals tells the story of what happened there
through the eyes of these two young men -- not the celebrated military
commanders or politicians we often hear about, but everyday heroes who
risked their lives for the Allied cause. Meticulously researched and
gorgeously illustrated, Two Generals is a harrowing story of battle
and a touching story of friendship -- and a vital and vibrant record of
unsung heroism.
