Bombing Nazi Germany: The Graphic History of the Allied Air Campaign That Defeated Hitler in World War II (Zenith Graphic Histories)
"A note about the illustrations. I think these are of about the same quality as Hal Foster's original drawings in his long-running Prince Valiant comic strip. There's not a single illustration where I couldn't tell what kind of airplane or who Vansant was talking about in the accompanying narrative. They are cartoons, no question,but they are very good; and every one well supports the thread of the history presented. For a quick and enjoyable summary of the technology, strategy, tactics, and personalities involved in this huge six-year military campaign, this book very adequately fills the bill." -Air Power History"â?¿ absolutely one of the most phenomenal things I've ever read. It was like reading a textbook except it was interesting. These are fantasticâ?¿ I love these things. I wish I had these when I was in school because I probably would have learned a hell of a lot more."- PetesBasement.com"Vansant has created a visual narrative of the bombing war that is highly original, striking, engaging and accessible. It is an outstanding achievement. It is remarkable how much information this graphic history packs into barely 100 pages.  Bombing Nazi Germany is so well done - visually stunning, historically accurate, emotionally gripping - that it is bound to lure younger readers and keep them turning the pages. But no air war buff of any age should leave it unexplored." -World War II Magazine"Vansant has created a visual narrative of the bombing war that is highly original, striking, engaging and accessible. It is an outstanding achievement. Any good graphic novel has to be visually striking, and Vansant's graphics more than fit this bill. They are not merely "re-draws" of iconic photographs; they are original works of art. Bombing Nazi Germany is so well done - visually stunning, historically accurate, emotionally gripping - that it is bound to lure younger readers and keep them turning the pages. But no air war buff of any age should leave it unexplored." -World War II Magazine"The minimal text is packed with information on politics, history, technical specifications, and military strategy, making this book appealing to both reluctant readers and those wanting a quick history review. Don't rush through, though: the illustrations themselves are full of content and personality, conveying the human (and inhuman) aspects of war." -HistoricalNovelSociety.org"Bombing Nazi Germany is an emotionally stirring, wonderfully readable account of the greatest air war in history. It is a gripping story, told with mounting drama and emotional power--and with great fidelity to the historical record." -Donald L. Miller, Professor of History, Lafayette College, and author of Masters of the Air, America's Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany
