"It was September 1918 and Maxwell Fox didn't know what he would witness in France. America had been in the Great War since April 2, 1917. Nothing could have prepared him for the horrors that awaited him and the rest of the men of the 4th Infantry "Ivy" Division. As the Meuse-Argonne Offensive raged on, Maxwell was assigned to a unit of stretcher bearers, men who were tasked with running into harm's way to rescue their fallen brethren from the clutches of death. This wouldn't be an easy job, but with Graham, Frank, and Ralph by his side, Maxwell had to rely on his team and hope to survive. A dark and honest look at the bond of brotherhood during war, this graphic novel tells the unforgettable tale of a young man trying to save the lives of wounded soldiers and keep those he'd served with alive. But in the "war to end all wars," no one was safe." --, Page [4] of cover
