Description

The Puerto Rican War is a powerful and poignant graphic history that brings to light a pivotal moment in American history. Rendered in beautifully carved wood blocks and accompanied by historical supplemental material, this book tells the story of the 1950 insurrection on the island, which resulted in 38 deaths and a failed assassination attempt against President Harry S. Truman.

Through a unique blend of graphic and literary narration, John Vasquez Mejias sheds light on an often overlooked chapter in the Puerto Rican independence movement. The book's narrative is framed as a fable, in which the leaders of the movement are visited by the ghosts of key historical figures, adding a layer of depth and complexity to the story.

With 111 pages of engaging and informative content, this hardcover edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, politics, or the Puerto Rican independence movement. A must-have for anyone looking to learn more about this important and often overlooked moment in American history.
