Palestine

By
Joe Sacco
Vintage Publishing
 In late l991 and early 1992, at the time of the first Intifada, Joe
Sacco spent two months with the Palestinians in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip, travelling and taking notes. Upon returning to the United
States he started writing and drawing Palestine, which combines the
techniques of eyewitness reportage with the medium of comic-book
storytelling to explore this complex, emotionally weighty situation.
He captures the heart of the Palestinian experience in image after
unforgettable image, with great insight and remarkable humour.

The nine-issue comics series won a l996 American Book Award. It

is now published for the first time in one volume, befitting its status
as one of the great classics of graphic non-fiction.
