Read David Axe's blogs and other content on the Penguin
Community.
The war memoir as graphic novel-an utterly unforgettable and highly
original look at war in the 21st century.
Street battles with spears and arrows in sweltering East Timor.
Bone- jarring artillery duels in Afghanistan's mountains. Long
patrols on the sandy wastes of southern Iraq. For four years, war
was life for David Axe. He was alternately bored out of his mind
and completely terrified. It was strangely addictive.
As a correspondent for "The Washington Times," C-SPAN and BBC
Radio, Axe flew from conflict to conflict, reveling in death,
danger, and destruction abroad while, back in D.C., his apartment
gathered dust, his plants died, and his relationships withered. War
reporting was physically, emotionally, and financially draining-and
disillusioning. Loosely based on the web comic of the same name,
with extensive new material, "War Is Boring" takes us to Lebanon
and Somalia; to arms bazaars across the United States; to Detroit,
as David tries to reconnect with his family-and to Chad, as David
attempts to bring attention to the Darfur genocide. Watch a
