Reviews

It is clear that Sacco is one of the masters of his craft.
*New Statesman*

One of the most original cartoonists of the past two decades.
*Guardian*

Sacco is formidably talented. A meticulous reporter…and a gifted artist whose richly nuanced drawings tread a delicate path between cartoonishness and naturalism.
*Independent*

Joe Sacco's brilliant, excruciating books of war reportage are potent territory... He shows how much that is crucial to our lives a book can hold.
*New York Times Book Review*

Moving and informative.
*Observer*

As reportage, these pieces are as evocative as documentary film, and yet, drawn in Sacco’s calm, simple lines, as restrained, characterful and understated as the very best journalism.
*Sunday Times*

Pretty much the hands-down boss of his particular corner of contemporary literature.
*Dazed & Confused*

Collected here for the first time, Sacco’s darkly funny, revealing reportage confirms his standing as one of the foremost war correspondents working today.
