After the war, the book-loving teenager tries hard to learn Mandarin and believes he is finally stepping towards a comfortable future; but little does he know, a dark cloud awaits him ahead. Part Two: Taiwan, 1950s. In his second year at Taichung First Senior High School, Tsai is arrested simply for joining a book club and subsequently tortured, deprived of civil rights, and sent to Green Island for "reformation." Lasting until his release in September 1960, Tsai, a victim of the White Terror era, spends ten years of his youth in prison on an unjust charge. But he is ready to embrace freedom.

The Trouble with Kenya
The McKenzian Blueprint.Some lines are short; some lines are long. All lines are variable. Some appear parallel but connect in latency. Some appear linear. When held against the light they reveal dependence or independence; Freedom or constraints; Empowerment or strife; Subjugation or Justice.The Trouble with Kenya is a microcosm of any given country's social and justice pillars. These pillars have been subordinated to the political and economic pillars in many societies with politics and the economy being deified as the all-encompassing enablers of the advancement of Nations. With the world becoming more connected, happenings in far-flung places are increasingly becoming risk factors locally, precipitating issues of local concern and increasing the impediments to collective human development. All these may appear to be abstract concepts in daily life where making the next pay check, putting food on the table or securing a comfortable future for oneself and family is an exhausting endeavor but those who ignore the harbinger flicks subject themselves to ongoing or future succumb.The story of the founding of Kenya as a country and the continuous strides towards nationhood is similar to many countries globally that have had a monarchy in their founding DNA. Indeed, some countries have excelled in building institutions that ensure an equitable society, while some continue to struggle with cartelization and usurpation of independence of institutions and commensurately experience unjust societal confluence where only a few enjoy the benefits of a nation-wide toil.Why you should get the best historical comic book you are yet to readVisually Stunning Illustrations: Dive into the heart of Kenya's history with visually stunning illustrations that breathe life into historical events and key figures. The graphic format adds a dynamic dimension to the storytelling, making it an engaging and visually captivating experience.Comprehensive Two-Volume Set: The comic book provides you the key to explore the full scope of Kenya's history in the separate more detailed two-volume book. Volume One, spanning 468 pages, lays the historical foundation, while Volume Two, at an extensive 532 pages, continues the narrative, offering a comprehensive and detailed account of Kenya's current and rich historical tapestry.McKenzian Blueprint Unveiled: Witness the unfolding of the McKenzian Blueprint through the lens of graphic storytelling. This unique approach allows readers to grasp the complexities of this historical framework in a visually accessible manner.Educational and Entertaining: Ideal for both history enthusiasts and educational purposes, the graphic comic book strikes a perfect balance between informative content and entertainment. It's a valuable resource for classrooms, libraries, and individual readers seeking an engaging exploration of Kenya's past.Collector's Edition: Make a statement with this collector's edition graphic comic book.

Above the Trenches (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #12)
In Above the Trenches, author-illustrator Nathan Hale takes to the skies with the flying aces of World War I to reveal another Hazardous Tale in American history in the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novel series. When the Great War began in 1914, America had plans to stay out of it. But some young men were so eager to fight, they joined the French Foreign Legion. From deep in the mud and blood of the Western Front, these young volunteers looked to the sky and saw the future--the airplane. The first American pilots to fight in World War One flew for the French military. France created a squadron of volunteer Americans called the Lafayette Escadrille (named after the great Marquis de Lafayette). This book is about that volunteer squadron: How they got into the French military. How they learned to fly. How they fought--and died. And how these American pilots would go down in history with other legendary flying aces like the Red Baron and his Flying Circus. Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales are graphic novels that tell the thrilling, shocking, gruesome, and TRUE stories of American history. Read them all--if you dare!
