Alan's War was the surprising and moving result: the story of Cope's experiences as an American GI in France during World War II.\nHow the World Was is Emmanuel Guibert's moving return to documenting the life of his friend. Cope died several years ago, as Guibert was just beginning work on this book, but Guibert has kept working to commit his friend's story to paper. Cope grew up in California during the great depression, and this remarkable graphic novel details the little moments that make a young man's life...while capturing the scope of America during the great depression.\nA lyrical, touching portrait, How the World Was is a gift for a dear friend in the last moments of his life... and also a meditation on the birth of modern America.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1596436646\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1596436646.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Guibert, Emmanuel|Pulver, Kathryn M.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
