The Puerto Rican War: A Graphic History

$24.95

"A brilliant blend of graphic and literary narration and a lovely work of art in itself.” —Kirkus, STARRED Review

Rendered in gorgeously carved wood blocks and buffeted with historical supplemental material, John Vasquez Mejias’s The Puerto Rican War tells the story of the the 1950 insurrection on the island that resulted in 38 deaths and a failed assassination attempt against President Harry S. Truman. Told as a fable, in which the leaders of the movement are visited by the ghosts of Michael Collins and Gandhi, this book showcases an important and often overlooked moment in American history and a historical touchstone for the Puerto Rican independence movement.

Se cumple un mes Agosto 13 y no me ha llegado

Tuve que escribirles a ver que pasa que no me ha llegado, y me dijeron que está en reproducción... Pero hay un número USPS desde que lo ordené. Si no les escribo yo a ellos, ni me avisan que pasa o si alguna vez lo recibiré.
Decepcionada for la falta de comunicación.
A ver si permiten este review.

Great book

I loved all the historical information in this book. The artwork is amazing! I would use it in my classes but I don't know if my students could follow without being distracted.
