After a fist stay in Afghanistan working with a French NGO to promote democracy and to help with the local army's recruitment campaign, Nicolas is reunited with the team of colourful expats in a 2005 post-war Afghanistan that remains very unstable. As a privileged observer of the hesitant rebuilding process, Nicolas feels more and more atached to the country and decides to extend his contract despite obvious risks. In Book 1, he was entrusted with illustrating the Afghan Constitution aimed at schoolchildren, for a government that was yet to be formed. In this second volume, he has to tackle a new awareness campaign focusing on the war on opium. In a working environment that can be both gratifying and absurd, he strives to draw inspiration from a slogan that ofers a myriad of possibilities: 'Opium is bad'...

Industry Reviews

"French cartoonist Wild was on the verge of homelessness when he received a job offer that would take him to Afghanistan. His travelogue explores life in the country with candor and humor, particularly the places where the cultures diverge and, sometimes, overlap. " - Barnes and Noble, "The Best Comics & Graphic Novel ""Exuberant. . . . a textured travelogue that mixes the open drawing style and self-mocking voice of Guy Delisle with a cynical, Rajiv Chandrasekaran-like takedown of insular war zone expat life."" - Publishers Weekly
