Review
This graphic novel is the fictional account of the life of the Serbian terrorist, Gavrilo Princip, who assassinated the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, igniting World War I. Dark and riveting, it fills in the gaps in the historical records and imagines in insightful detail the events that led a simple country boy to become history's most significant terrorist.
The graphics are outstanding and really led support to the text as it is displayed on the page. Rehr also uses various quotes from the court transcripts and from other dignities of that time throughout the novel reinforcing the text and conversations within the story. Easy to read and follow, history buffs will enjoy this book.
Overall Book Score: excellent
