Palestine: A powerful, eyewitness portrait of life under occupation. Paperback – 2 Jan. 2003

I wish I had read it earlier. It is a book that gives the reader the exact feeling with both its illustrations and its narrative. It's one of those rare books that you can say, "I'm glad I read it." Buy it now :)

If you want to know the basics of the Palestine/Israel conflict, this graphic novel is great. It tells the history of the invasion and the 2 intifadas that followed thereafter. It's worth a read. Sacco enters Palestine as a Westerner, a journalist, to get to grips with the situation in Palestine towards the end of the first intifada- it's his account of it. His view of the Palestine/Israel conflict is not that of the mainstream western media, it's the reality of the situation. Although the text can still be considered somewhat orientalist, it really allows you to get a hold of Palestinian history. I followed up reading this with some critical theory on Palestine, a text written by Said and Hitchens as well as other critics. It's called 'Blaming the Victims' and it's a great follow-up read. I would recommend this text to those who don't have much knowledge of this conflict.

A wonderful book. Amazing illustrations and content.

Great book but I discovered too late that 11 pages were missing: my copy finished abruptly with page 285 when publisher states it has 296 pages. SO I DON’T KNOW THE CONCLUSION and it’s too late to return it.

I always liked graphic novels and comics. This comic from joe Sacco is great to get to know what really happen in Palestine. I really recommend to read his comics, and especially this one "Palestine". I also recommend to join the prime account to get the staff in one day.

A most profound graphic novel

This might be my favourite graphic novel ever. The way it is written and illustrated take me right there. There will be a more articulate way to put this but being written and drawn by the same guy seemed to make it work so much better than a couple of people collaborating. Maybe this is a common thing but it has been a bit more of a lesson to me about the way comics work.I’ve just bought The Fixer by Joe Sacco.

This book should be required reading in schools. It is particularly important these days. It looks like it might be out of print? That is a travesty. It should be in all libraries.
