A Note on Ted Rall's New Book

Ted Rall's "instant book" To Afghanistan and Back about my misadventures covering the war in Afghanistan hits stores next week. It contains a 50-page graphic-novel format retelling of what went down plus 62 pages of dispatches, cartoons and new photos filed from the front. Those interested in an inside look at America's war on terror, you can pre-order it at Amazon.com. Here's a brief description from Amazon's website:

This "graphic travelogue" relates cartoonist/journalist Ted Rall's harrowing experience covering the war in Afghanistan for The Village Voice and report
for KFI Radio in Los Angeles. Of 45 reporters entering Afghanistan in his convoy, three were killed within two weeks. The book's centerpiece is a
50-page graphic novel relating Rall's foray into the war zone during November-December 2001.

To Afghanistan and Back is a comprehensive look at the US bombing campaign, its effects on ordinary people, the politics of the region and how it relates to the United States after September 11th. To Afghanistan and Back also includes 62 pages of Rall's scathingly honest essays and news dispatches as well as editorial cartoons and photos from Afghanistan never published elsewhere. The Washington Post called Rall's Afghanistan reporting "excellent." The Nation said: "Ted Rall has filed some of the best war reporting from Afghanistan from an American journalist." The book features an introduction by "Politically Incorrect" host Bill Maher, with whom Rall famously sparred about the stolen presidential election. To Afghanistan and Back is be a unique must-have for anyone interested in Central Asia and Afghanistan and America's war on terrorism.
