Footnotes in Gaza Review: Find out more about Gaza. - Like Sacco’s Palestine this book provides a contrary view of the history and status of Gaza. Unlike the establishment view reflected in most MSM articles and news coverage, it brings up the unpleasant reality that Israel has long coveted the territory. Unlike most accounts of the relationship it addresses the massacre by Israeli troops of large numbers of Palestinians during the little-noted 1956 war. The 1956 war was undertaken by Israel in connivance with Britain and France. Look it up. Unfortunately the book was published in 2009 and cannnot therefore cover the repeated deadly assaults on Gaza by Israel. The notion that the current genocidal attacks by Israel on Gaza, though prompted by a real atrocity, is unique fails to move me given the earlier thousands killed in previous “operations” like “Cast Lead.” I hope readers will come away with a sense of Palestinian humanity. In the midst of this now near two-month long campaign campaign against the people of Gaza and its less-noted campaign against Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank. Review: Masterful Work of Graphic Research and Narrative - Joe Sacco had already developed an important graphic work, well worth of its recognition, looking at personal research in conflict zones such as the former Yugoslavia or the Palestine revisited in these "Footnotes in Gaza". The frustration of an uneven and often untold conflict shines through the research of the events and killings of Khan Younins and Rafah well over fifty years ago with poignant relevance. The graphic narrative driven out of his personal-research where he becomes another character, another agent in the conflict, is truly outstanding. Sacco offers an intriguingly open and critical account of his efforts and perceptions as he explores the events of the 1956 killing in Palestine, while he visits a region about to witness the US war against Iraq that would topple the regime of Hussein. In doing so, not only he reveals a poignant account about the difficulties and importance of recuperating memories, even the smaller ones, but leaves a trite and cogent account of the past and current circumstances faced by Palestine. Exploring these footnotes in history, sure enough will unfold universal truths for those willing to pick them up, but more importantly sets a memorable and committed effort to develop a graphic journalism with a cause, explored with rigor, on the ground, and setting new narratives worth sharing with a passion. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #7,126,447 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #116 in Biographies & History Graphic Novels #254 in Israel & Palestine History (Books) #278 in Educational & Nonfiction Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (281) | | Dimensions | 7.6 x 0.98 x 10.55 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1787332012 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1787332010 | | Item Weight | 2.29 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 432 pages | | Publication date | August 1, 2019 | | Publisher | Jonathan Cape | ## Images ![Footnotes in Gaza - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1XmeMP-3vL.jpg) ![Footnotes in Gaza - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91zduWsbuIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Find out more about Gaza. *by D***E on December 3, 2023* Like Sacco’s Palestine this book provides a contrary view of the history and status of Gaza.

Sacco is an artist of the first rank. And brutally honest about situations for which the MSM has neither time nor the guts to honestly report. Thank you, Joe, for your work, which is both informative and entertaining on several levels. Each work stands up to multiple readings, and each reading reveals new glimpses into other worlds than our own safe and comfy one. HIghly recommended. Anything by Joe is is worth adding to your collection. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/316292966-footnotes-in-gaza](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/316292966-footnotes-in-gaza) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
