review:
'Great Naval Battles of the Twentieth Century: Tsushima, Jutland, Midway' by Jean-Yves Delitte and Giuseppe Baiguera is a graphic novel focusing on three naval battles in three different conflicts.

After a pretty brief foreword, the three graphic novel stories begin. All features stories of the ordinary men on both sides of the conflict as they follow orders. When the conflict happens, there is often tragedy. At the end of the book there are three essays featuring factual information and illustrations and photos from the conflicts.

If you aren't familiar with the battles, it might be more useful to read the essays first. Also, for a book with "battles" in the title, it seems like a lot of the conflict takes place off the page. I did like the art and essays, though.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dead Reckoning and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
