The Stan Book Review

The American involvement in Afghanistan has been documented in many ways but this book, a collection of short stories, re-told by two journalists, Kevin Knodell and David Axe, is unusual in that they are in ‘comic strip’ form. There are 17 individual stories, each one quite short but they are all interesting and brought to life by illustrator Blue Delliquanti. There are stories from US military personnel, Taliban fighters and Afghan National Army soldiers. It is an enjoyable book and offers a unique insight into the conflict and those involved in it.
