About the Book

The year is 2011 and Jimmy Burns, a young anti-corporate blogger, has just seen his apartment blown to bits by yet another terrorist attack on New York City. He's recorded the gruesome scene on his new videoblog camera - footage Burns beams live to a freaked-out world and that makes him an overnight media star. Exploited by his own network, enraged by the terrorists and determined to tell the American people the uncensored truth, Burns takes off for Iraq to get the real story of a war that's been raging for more than eight years. But Burns' greatest dream (to be a war correspondent) becomes his biggest nightmare as he nearly loses his mind in the paranoia, chaos and destruction of the spiraling civil war.

Review :
terrifyingly plausible and plausibly terrifying.. originally free online, this strip deserves its enshrinement between the hard covers - FINANCIAL TIMES - James Lovegrove The writing is witty and appropriately gonzo, with all the moral ambiguity that implies - The Observer riveting - Plan B One of the 100 Best Things in the World! - GQ it is fascinating to read a graphic novel about what the Iraq occupation might look like - Morning Star a darkly funny trip into a shattered country.. each page is packed with in-jokes and references - Time Out - Max Leonard
