Description
A meticulous investigation rendered with unforgettable humanity. In Footnotes in Gaza, acclaimed cartoonist and journalist Joe Sacco delves into one bloody incident in 1956 that left over one hundred Palestinians dead, shot by Israeli soldiers. Seemingly a footnote to the long history of killing in Rafah, a town in the Gaza Strip notorious as a flashpoint in this bitter conflict, Sacco expertly reveals the competing truths that have come to define an intractable war. Through painstaking fieldwork and interviews, Sacco reconstructs the massacre and its enduring trauma, weaving past and present, memory and reportage, into a single, searing narrative. With Sacco's unique visual journalism, Footnotes in Gaza transforms political abstraction into immediate human experience, offering readers an unparalleled insight into the tragedy and its moral cost. 'There is virtually no precedent for what he does... Sacco is legitimately unique' The New York Review of Books
