Richard D. Heffner, is an excellent anthology of historic texts. The
first edition of this essential book appeared in 1952, and new and
enlarged editions have gradually appeared over the decades. The texts
in this book include many key documents that have shaped United States
history.
There is an emphasis on political and legal documents: the
Declaration of Independence, several key Supreme Court decisions,
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Clinton's 1998 State of the Union
Address, and much more. There are also many texts from
non-governmental individuals and bodies: the first issue of the
anti-slavery periodical "The Liberator," William Faulkner's
1949 Nobel Prize acceptance speech, the 1966 Statement of Purpose of
the National Organization for Women, and much more.
As I said, this
book has "grown" considerably over the decades. A
particularly impressive enlargement marks the 6th edition, which adds
100 pages of new documents. Among these new additions are Booker
T. Washington's Atlanta Exposition Address, the Articles of
Impeachment against Richard M. Nixon, and the 1994 Republican
"Contract with America."
The book as the whole is more than
just a collection of documents. Rather, it feels like fragments from a
great epic story: the story of the United States. In this book you see
this nation and its citizens in all of our weakness and our strength,
our foolishness and our wisdom. We see the struggles to deal as a
nation with slavery, war, women's rights, economic injustice, and
other controversial issues. And we see the development of a United
States "tradition," a heritage of pivotal documents which
sometimes comment on earlier documents.
Yes, I'm sure most readers
could name worthy texts that they feel should have been included in
this book; maybe some of them will appear in future editions. After
all, this excellent anthology is truly a "living book." Not
just for teachers and students, this book should be in the library of
every serious citizen of the United States.

All of the characters look very realistic on a manga scale. I myself have read many graphic novels in my lifetime and this is in the range of the top five graphic novels.
The storyline is based on a girl named Iris Irine she is the dughter of a powerful man by the name of Lord Irine. Lord Irine's eldest daughter was to be sacrificed 12 years ago but things didnt go as planned. Iris escaped and was adopted to an army. Now in this book Lord Irine's daughter is back "and will feel her vengeance".
This is all I will tell you for right now but you will have to purchase this book to find out the rest.
