- Summary:
- "In the sprint of 2025 Joe Sacco, author of Palestine and Footnotes in Gaza, and Chris Hedges, the former Middle East Bureau Chief for the New York times, travel to Cairo where they interviewed 29 Palestinian families who had recently left Gaza. In Requiem for Gaza, they use the experience and stories of these families to detail the crucible for the genocide, the loss of homes and communities, the appalling death toll among friends and loved ones, the terror of indiscrminate kiling, the hunger and deprivation, the obliteration of all that was known and familiar, and the struggle to cope with the callous indifference of a world that continues to supply Israel with weapons... The collective power of the individaul stories that chronicle the forced evacuation of homes, the targeted assassinations, the false hopes engendered by ceasefires, the dislocation and alienation of exile, the brutal kiling and hasty burial of family members, and the humiliation of living under tarps without clean food and water bring every aspect of the genocide to life."--Back cover.
- In a profound and elegiac work of investigative journalism, the writer Chris Hedges and the cartoonist Joe Sacco collaborate to present the testimony of displaced Palestinians who lived through the genocide.
