The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt, by Michael G. Vann and Liz Clarke

 

I loved this graphic history of a time period that I don't know very much about: the French colonial period in Vietnam. The artwork is very well done, with a lot of detail. The book tells how the author became interested in the period and conducted his research. The book is organized into five parts, with the graphic history being the first part, followed by primary sources, historical contexts, the making of the book, and how to use it in the classroom. This is a very creative and enjoyable way to learn about and study history.
