## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Maddening, erratic, preachy, shrill, horrifying, hypnotic, brilliant.
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2013*

Ted Rall is one of the last of a dying breed: a journalist/political cartoonist who does not just repost corporate or government press clippings.  Sane people 'go along to get along', and in this tough job market we must expect that someone willing to get blacklisted by the big media outlets in the name of truth should be a little, well, driven (or perhaps, even, crazy).  Too bad.  If you want smooth and polite oligarch-approved pablum go elsewhere, if you want the real story go here. Rall goes to Afghanistan, and instead of being embedded with the regular military he lives in ordinary peoples' houses out in the villages (on second thought forget the 'perhaps': he IS crazy).  What results is a bit jumbled, I would have liked a longer book with more details.  The cartoon maps didn't do it for me: I could have used some better maps and pictures so I had a better idea of where all this was happening.  But still.  A powerful and compelling look not just into the stupidest and most corrupt thing that the United States has ever done (and that includes Disco), but a look into a very different society: it's where the West used to be about 600 years ago.  And if we don't start giving people like Rall more respect, it's where we are going back - and the return journey won't take a fraction of that time.

    Still Relevant
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2019*

Even after seventeen (17) years, this on-the-ground reporting of the first months of the American war on Afghanistan is still very relevant.Rall focuses on the interviews with the locals, and his terrifying experiences as an independent journalist. He recounts how some of those journalists died: robbery, ambush, etc.He has since given an updated account of what is going on in Afghanistan with his book, "After We Kill You, We Will Welcome You Back as Honored Guests: Unembedded in Afghanistan", published eleven (11) years later.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Third Afgan War Gonzo Style
  

*by E***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2012*

Rall is at his best here - channeling Hunter Thompson. Ted Rall's irreverent black humor comic about the Third Afgan War is still relevant (and funny/sad) over ten years after 9-11. The sarcasm is dripping in these concise, outrageous illustrations summarizing how Rall experienced the start of the war in 2001. And in 2012 the violence, tribalism, and lawlessness continues.Evan Tick CITI
