I, Rene Tardi, Prisoner of War in Stalag Iib Vol. 1

By Jacques Tardi

Book Overview

Captured by the Germans and sent to a POW camp where he spends the rest of the war, Ren? Tardi lives a harrowing day-to-day existence. He recalls in vivid detail roll calls in sub-zero temperatures, senseless executions--and especially the gnawing hunger. And yet, in the face of daily brutality, he perseveres, thinking of his wife Henriette, awaiting his return home to France. Both an homage to his father and a testament to the silent suffering of a generation of men scarred by war, Jacques Tardi's Stalag IIB is a personal and artistic triumph.
