War Is Boring by David Axe and Matt Bors. New American Library, 2010, 125 pages

Graphic memoir of war correspondent, David Axe. Honest look at the War Machine -- UN Peacekeepers, US Military, Humanitarian Aide workers, local translators and guides, Arms manufacturers, Weapon conventions, journalism, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, East Timor etc-- and of the many issues coming home, reestablishing relationships, living the civilian life. An honest glimpse of war life- at home and abroad. Axe is ambivient about his feelings about war and unable to explain why he does what he does. Works well in graphic form.
