WORLD WAR II GRAPHIC NOVEL
Available on Amazon
The graphic novel depicts his whole experience, from naive schoolboy alone in the vast metropolis of New York - through to his eventual call-up to the US Army, including him being sent back to Europe, serving in the brutal Lorraine Campaign in 1944 under Patton’s Third Army.
THE ENGLISH GI
The English GI is a uniquely told WWII graphic novel memoir. In September 1939, Britain declares war on Germany. Bernard Sandler, a 17-year-old schoolboy from Yorkshire, is on a school trip to the USA and consequently finds himself unable to return home, separated from his close-knit Jewish family in Britain.
