Trade Review
"Brilliantly rendered and unexpectedly timely.... Will reading an erudite, if flat-out hilarious, account of Middle East history helps us make sense of our current clash of cultures? Let's put it this way; ignorance hasn't worked." -- Garry Trudeau, creator of Doonesbury
"A masterpiece! A must for every animated reader!" -- Steve Martin, actor and writer
"Each new volume of Larry Gonick's epic and irreverent rendition of history is informative, funny, and a triumph of the cartoonist's craft—in other words, cause for celebration." -- Charles Johnson, National Book Award-winning author of Middle Passage
"A brilliant application of the cartoon medium—wedding learning with fun. Bravo!" -- Will Eisner, creator of The Spirit, A Contract with God, and The Dreamer
