An educational comic book September 4, 2008
It seems ridiculous - a "graphic novel" about the September 11 attacks. But it is far more readable and memorable than the textual presentations I have seen. I came away with a clearer sense of the timeline of that day and the 9-11 Commission's findings and reports than I had from newspaper articles, radio reports and New Yorker articles of the same.
Maybe because we are such visual creatures, the images help convey the confusing and contradictory events and how they connect to each.
The commission's written report has a lot more data in it. But if I quickly needed a fact or figure, I would grab this book first because I could find the information more quickly and easily.
I think its greatest value could be in reaching a wider audience. People who would take 1-2 hours to read this might not spend 12 hours to wade through the whole written report. As such, it would be ideal for a high school civics class but I've also loaned it a number of highly educated adult friends who wanted to be more informed without committing a huge amount of time reading tedious material.
