review 1: After 9/11 America's war on terror by Sib Jacobson and Ernie Colon is a great book. I am a person who like books that deal with war issues. And I am always up for reading a book that has to do with the World Trade Center terrorist attack. This book was a graphic book which made me want to read it more. Not only was I able to picture the difficulties American troops were facing in my head now I was able to visualize in more efficient way. This book is very descriptive. It has numerous dates of different attacks. The great thing about this book is the author tried to be as specific as possible. This book teaches about how the war started and the struggles the United States faced. People who are interested in reading about the Afghanistan war this is your book. The purpose ... moreof this book was for people to understand what the government is going trough. This book had too much detail which was difficult to understand every one of them. It did have many dates which was a good thing in my perspective. Overall it was a respectable book to read.
review 2: A sequel (to the authors' graphic adaptation of The 9/11 Report) better than the work that preceded it; in this the presentation is more blunt in pointing out the lies and mistakes of the people who decided to invade Iraq and have mismanaged both that war and the war in Afghanistan, naming names and giving details of what they've done wrong and who pointed it out before they did or as they were doing it.Again, they do a better job than I would have thought possible of taking an appropriately serious and respectful tone with this subject and of presenting an encyclopedic mass of data that can be pretty dry, in a comic-book format. For anyone who wonders whether comic books can be serious literature, these books, together with works like Maus I and II by Siegelman, answer the question in the affirmative. less
