Hope Never to See It illustrates two exceptional incidents of occupational and guerrilla violence in Missouri during the American Civil War. The first is a Union spys two-week-long murder spree targeting civilians, and the second is a pro-Confederate guerrillas mutilation of almost 150 U.S. troops. The men leading the atrocities (Jacob Terman, alias Harry Truman, and Bloody Bill Anderson) werent so different. Both the Union spy and the infamous Confederate guerrilla claimed to be avenging the deaths of their families, operated under orders from military officials, and were hard drinkers. Their acts outline the terror inflicted on both sides of the struggle. This books use of sequential art displays these grisly realities to mute the wars glorification and to help prompt a modern, meaningful reconciliation with the war. The moral ambiguities contained within this story call into question our understanding of the laws of war and the ways in which wars end.
