Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt

A gritty, two-part journalistic graphic novel from Nation Books, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt pairs Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Chris Hedges with acclaimed artist Joe Sacco to document the stark realities of America's most impoverished and forgotten communities. Spanning from 2012 onward, the series blends on-the-ground reporting with Sacco's dense, expressive black-and-white illustration to expose the human cost of economic inequality, from the coal fields of West Virginia to the post-Katrina devastation of New Orleans. Its unflinching, documentary-style approach makes it a vital, if harrowing, chronicle of the American underclass.
