Notes From A Defeatist

Before Joe Sacco crafted his two major works of cartoon journalism, Palestine and Safe Area Gorazde, he created a number of shorter pieces, all collected here in their entirety. A fantastic primer to Sacco's work, this collection includes a history of aerial bombing that targets civilian populations, the story of his mother's harrowing experiences in Malta in WWII, and most personally, 'How I Loved the War', Sacco's impassioned but sardonic reflection on the Gulf war.
