Book description
A timely satirical broadside on Israel's genocidal campaign against Gaza by the most acclaimed comics journalist working today. Joe Sacco is well known as an unflinching chronicler of the injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people (Palestine, 1993; Footnotes in Gaza, 2010). He continues this mission with War on Gaza, a series of graphic commentaries on Israel's rampage that began more than a year ago and continues relentlessly today. Published in installments on The Comics Journal's website, War on Gaza is a series of comics and single-panel illustrations that lay bare the naked immorality of the "war" itself and its dire and tragic consequences. Employing his trademark combination of honesty, compassion, and dark humor, Sacco's War on Gaza is an uncompromising critique of Israel's genocide and the complicity of President Joe Biden and the United States.Review"Not an easy read, but an essential, necessary indictment of political systems, military aggression, and global and personal complicity." -Library Journal, Starred Review "A biting commentary..." -Kirkus Reviews "With his ever keen and incisive eye on events it's some of Sacco's finest work ... This isn't easy reading, and it may not be the kind of material that you want to be experiencing in the lead-up to the holiday season, which only makes it all the more important that you do. We live in a dark and bleak timeline. We cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the moral obscenities that surround us. Essential reading." -Broken FrontierAbout the AuthorJoe Sacco lives in Portland, Oregon. He is the author of many acclaimed graphic novels, including Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde, But I Like It, Notes from a Defeatist, The Fixer, War's End, and Footnotes in Gaza.

This app has made me realize that there's always time for a good book. Sharing audiobooks with friends is a great way to connect over stories. Adjusting the tone of the voice is a novel feature that allows for a personalized listening experience. A reasonable choice for casual listening. The audiobook was well-produced, but the pacing felt uneven in places. I didn’t dislike it, but I also didn’t feel strongly about it one way or another. I'm so glad I chose the audiobook version! The narrator added layers of meaning I might have missed reading silently. Their interpretation of the material felt thoughtful and authentic. The recording was technically perfect - no reverb, no peaking, just clean, pleasant audio.
