Vastly different sequentially (eschewing \u003ci\u003eTrenches\u003c\/i\u003e’ splintered narrative, \u003ci\u003eGoddamn\u003c\/i\u003e is split into six chronological chapters, one for each year of the war), graphically (Tardi deploys his more recent pen-ink-and-watercolor technique, with the bold colors of the early chapters fading into a grimy near-monochrome in the later ones as the war drags on), and narratively (all of \u003ci\u003eGoddamn\u003c\/i\u003e is told, with insight, dark wit and despair, as a first-person reminiscence\/narration by an unnamed soldier), \u003ci\u003eGoddamn This War!\u003c\/i\u003e shares with \u003ci\u003eTrenches\u003c\/i\u003e its sustained sense of outrage, pitch-black gallows humor, and impeccably scrupulous historical exactitude. In fact, \u003ci\u003eGoddamn This War!\u003c\/i\u003e includes an extensive year-by-year historical text section written by Tardi’s frequent World War I research helpmate, the historian and collector Jean-Pierre Verney, including dozens of stunning rare photographs and visual documents from his personal collection.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTardi\u003c\/b\u003e is a pioneering, internationally award-winning European cartoonist.
