The Cartoon History of the Modern World Part II

<p>From the Bastille to Baghdad <em>The Cartoon History of the World Part 2 </em>is the conclusion (for the moment) of Larry Gonick's award-winning and bestselling annals of humankind presented in graphic novel form. Picking up after the American Revolution where Part 1 left off Part 2 opens with the Enlightenment and rolls across Napoleon the fall of the Ottoman Empire World War I and II and all the way to our recent imbroglios in Iraq and Afghanistan. <em>The Cartoon History of the Modern World Part 2 </em>is a monumental one might say historic achievement at once edifying irreverent and wildly entertaining. Terry Jones of Monty Python said of the first volume of this series <strong></strong>Obviously one of the great books of all time. And modern civilization's most recent act is no less enthralling.<p></p></p>
