The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation [B0518]

2006 PB in excellent condition. The 9/11 Report for Every American. On December 5, 2005, the 9/11 Commission issued its 600-page final report card on the government's fulfillment of the recommendations issued in July 2004: one A, twelve Bs, nine Cs, twelve Ds, three Fs, and four incompletes.

Here is stunning evidence that Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón, with more than sixty years of experience in the comic-book industry between them, were right: far, far too few Americans have read, grasped, and demanded action on the Commission's investigation into the events of that tragic day and the lessons America must learn. Using every skill and storytelling method Jacobson and Colón have learned over the decades, they have produced the most accessible version of the 9/11 Report. Jacobson's text frequently follows word for word the original report, faithfully captures its investigative thoroughness, and covers its entire scope, even including the Commission's final report card. Colón's stunning artwork powerfully conveys the facts, insights, and urgency of the original. Published on the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States, an event that has left no aspect of American foreign or domestic policy untouched, The 9/11 Report puts at every American's fingertips the most defining event of the century.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "The graphic novel definitely makes the 9/11 report easier to understand, but it still was too technical for me at times."; "What a great format to learn and understand the events leading up to that tragic day! Genius!"; "This isn't just a graphic novel about 9/11, it is a graphic novel adaptation of the almost 600 page 9/11 report by the national commission on terrorist attacks upon the united states. One of my biggest qualms with this adaption is that it is almost impossible to turn about 600 pages into about 100 pages. The illustrations were beautiful and the color palette on each page kept me invested. It is accessible to a reader of any kind, young or old, to learn more about the behind the scenes information on 9/11. And it does give insight into what the U.S. has done well and poorly in response to the 9/11 attacks."
