The 'Stan is a collection of short comics about America's longest war. Individual stories highlight different perspectives�one through the eyes of a Taliban ambassador and others through the eyes of Afghan and U.S. Army soldiers�but every account highlights the human element of war. The tales in this book�based on reporting by David Axe and Kevin Knodell and drawn by artist Blue Delliquanti�are all true and took place in roughly the first decade of the U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan. While the stories are from the recent past, The 'Stan is still very much about Afghanistan's and America's present�and likely their future.

Industry Reviews

"There are no larger truths to be found in this brief graphic narrative, and perhaps there will never be. These comics do not depict a faceless enemy, but they suggest compassion, bravery, and even heroism despite the absurdities of a war with no purpose and seemingly no end." - Kirkus Reviews

"Based on on-the-ground reporting by Knodell and Axe, this realistic view of an ongoing conflict, rendered in a casual yet powerful voice, not only acts as a necessary record of experiences and sacrifice but as a humble thanks to all those who have lived-or are still living-through them." - Publisher's Weekly

"Graphic journalism at its best!.... [The 'Stan] is a fantastic read for those who like military stories, who want real military stories, [and] who care about what's really going on in the world." - Graphic Policy (YouTube)

"It is an enjoyable book and offers a unique insight into the conflict and those involved in it." - Gun Mart

"The 'Stan is a page-turning book for military enthusiasts and comic readers-alike. Sit back and relax and be taken into a powerfully charged ride filled with action, emotion, fear. This is more than a comic book, this is a visual and candid journey of life, fear, bravery, conflict." - ComicScene UK
