7 Nissan
Book description
An unremarkable mission by an unremarkable unit on an unremarkable day of the Iraq War turns into an extended metaphor for the entire conflict in this graphic novel based on actual events.
Why read it?
1 author picked 7 Nissan as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
An obscure esoteric graphic novel, this seemingly crudely drawn book (and others by this author) genuinely showcases the brutal, tedious lifestyle that soldiers endured for years in Iraq. By telling the stories ignored by more cliché heroic works, things like a lieutenant being covered in raw sewage, Sisyphean Army work, and patrols, or casual violence, this book is a surprisingly honest glimpse into the day-to-day of the Iraq War. Be advised, I have a weakness for crass, dark soldier humor, so more highbrow readers may want to steer clear of this author.
From Darin's list on the Iraq War without fake Hollywood nonsense.
