But This War Had Such Promise (A Doonesbury Book) #[nn]

Jun 1973 · Holt, Rinehart and Winston · 1.95 USD

A 1973 snapshot of the Vietnam War era, *But This War Had Such Promise* captures the era’s chaos and idealism through G. B. Trudeau’s sharp, satirical lens. In this collection, B.D. crosses paths with the enigmatic “Phred the Terrorist,” Zonker ventures into war reporting, and Mike leads a group of friends into founding the Walden Commune—and its famously dubious Walden Puddle. With writing and art by G. B. Trudeau, and cover work by Trudeau and Don Carlton, it’s a timeless, wry look at youth, politics, and the contradictions of protest.
