Wonderful collection of Naji al-Ali's cartoons. I liked that the cartoons were categorised and that they had an explanatory subscript. I also liked the foreword by Joe Sacco and the chapter introductions by Abdul Hadi Ayyad. These provides insightful background to the cartoon.  The only thing I would change is to include more cartoons and perhaps a translation of the Arabic writing. I can read Arabic and this added a level to the cartoons that other people will miss out on. It makes them more impactful. Very enlightening. I definitely recommend!

More context would have helped, hence 4 stars. I feel like this book was written for people who already understand the entire 75 years of conflict in-depth, including the roles of other Arab states. I’m glad that there were captions for every image.
