He stands alone as a reporter-cartoonist because his ability to tell a story through his art is combined with investigative reporting of the highest quality.» —The New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRafah, a town at the bottommost tip of the Gaza Strip, has long been a notorious flashpoint in the bitter Middle East conflict. Buried deep in the archives is one bloody incident, in 1956, that left 111 Palestinians shot dead by Israeli soldiers. Seemingly a footnote to a long history of killing, that day in Rafah—cold-blooded massacre or dreadful mistake—reveals the competing truths that have come to define an intractable war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003eJoe Sacco is the author of «Footnotes in Gaza», for which he received an Eisner Award and the Ridenhour Book Prize, as well as «Paying the Land, Palestine, Journalism, Safe Area Goražde» (also an Eisner winner), and other books.
