Rate this book
En Europe, les forces alliées s’apprêtent à débarquer, et il
faudra des artistes pour immortaliser l’événement.
Pour prouver sa valeur à ses parents, Peter, artiste peintre raté
à New York se porte volontaire. Il se retrouve au coeur de la
« Big red one », le régiment le plus exposé de tous : celui qui
débarquera à Omaha beach…
Son frère, Jim, est l’exemple familial. Il a même récemment fait
la une de « LIFE ». Il fait partie des Rangers chargés
de neutraliser la pointe du Hoc.
Mais dans un camp « saucisse » peu avant le jour « J », Jim
tombe nez à nez avec Peter qui n’a pas encore conscience du
précipice dans lequel il vient de se jeter.
Et puis, brutalement, c’est LE JOUR « J » !
Peter et Jim se retrouvent plongés au coeur de l’histoire.

This book is less than 80 pages which is the cut off line for a book to be entered onto my all time book list. I do not really consider this to be a book at all. This is a mere 64 pages, which gets it a written review instead of a video review. This is graphic novel based Allied invasion and operations during WWII at Normandy and focusing on D-Day. The book drills down even more to focus on the action of soldiers on Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc and the perspective units evolved. Embedded in the stories are two brothers that we the readers follow through there actions and experiences before, during and after D-Day. This book was originally written in french and latter translated so much of the dialog seems to be of static and factual kind. The art is poor but the paneling is very good. I never thought I would get bored reading a D-day story, but this book, though short, had my eyes drooping. Could have been much better and I can only really recommend this to WWII history buffs.
2 out of 5.
