War is Boring: Bored Stiff, Scared to Death in the World's Worst War Zones (repost)

War is Boring: Bored Stiff, Scared to Death in the World's Worst War Zones By David Axe, Matt Bors
Publisher: N A L Trade 2010 | 144 Pages | ISBN: 0451230116 | EPUB | 7 MB

War journalist Axe has been to some of the most volatile regions of our globe in the past decade, and since 2006 he has used comics to tell the stories he sees there. In his previous War Fix he expressed the drive that inspires him to return to war zone after war zone, in search of the truth about conflicts around the world. Axe founded the Web site War Is Boring, which gives war correspondents and cartoonists a place to report and react to modern-day warfare. At first glance, the combination of hard-hitting war journalism and cartooning is incongruous, but as those who have read Joe Sacco will testify, the graphic novel can be a potent medium in which to show both the fearful tedium and the violence of war.
