About this ebook
A New York Times bestseller: A graphic novel of war and its aftermath.
A powerful, compulsively page-turning, vivid, and moving tribute to the experience of war and PTSD, The White Donkey tells the story of Abe, a young Marine recruit who experiences the ugly, pedestrian, and often meaningless side of military service in rural Iraq. He enlists in hopes of finding that missing something in his life but comes to find out that it's not quite what he expected.
Abe gets more than he bargained for when his journey takes him to the middle east in war-torn Iraq. This is a story about a Marine, written and illustrated by a Marine, and is the first graphic novel about the war in Iraq from a veteran. The White Donkey explores the experience of being a Marine, as well as the challenges that veterans face upon their return home, and its raw power will leave you in awe.

This is exactly what I think everyone needs to read if they want to know what it's like when you come back. To a world that seems to in no way comprehend what we went through. I remember as a kid reading all quite on the western front and thinking wow why doesn't my generation have a book like this and now we do. I have nothing but thanks to give this man and it is an honor to call him my brother though we may not have served together.

Great job on this. Definitely a different tone than the comic, but in a great way. The emotional connection was easy to make as it's something that we've all been through in one way or another. Definitely will recommend this to anyone who hasn't read it already.
