Description

A beautifully illustrated and poignant graphic memoir that tells the story of World War II from an Everyman’s point of view.
 
In March of 1943, Scott Chantler’s grandfather, Law Chantler, shipped out around the Atlantic for active service with the Highland Light Infantry of Canada, in conjunction with his highest friend, Jack, a fellow officer. Not long afterward, they would find themselves making a rocky crossing of the English Channel, about to participate in probably 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 throughout the eyes of these two young men — not the celebrated military commanders or politicians we regularly hear about, but on a regular basis 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 an important and vibrant record of unsung heroism.
