The White Donkey: Terminal Lance by Maximilian Uriarte Book Summary

A New York Times bestseller: A graphic novel of war and its aftermath.

A powerful, compulsively page-turning, vivid, and moving tribute to the experience of war and PTSD, The White Donkey tells the story of Abe, a young Marine recruit who experiences the ugly, pedestrian, and often meaningless side of military service in rural Iraq. He enlists in hopes of finding that missing something in his life but comes to find out that it's not quite what he expected.

Abe gets more than he bargained for when his journey takes him to the middle east in war-torn Iraq. This is a story about a Marine, written and illustrated by a Marine, and is the first graphic novel about the war in Iraq from a veteran. The White Donkey explores the experience of being a Marine, as well as the challenges that veterans face upon their return home, and its raw power will leave you in awe.

Fantastic book. This book goes to show you how much war screws a person up. Not gunna lie, a rather short book, but I was really into it the entire way. I highly suggest reading it, but be warned, as this is a book written about the military, every other word is a cuss word. Aside from that, I want to see this thing turned into a movie. Max if you are reading this, you wrote a work of art here and it really shows what war is like.

Incredibly relatable to the modern active duty. I’ve never related to a book so much that it felt like I was reliving memories

Not Bad, But Not Very Good Either. I hate to be the first non-five-star review, but The White Donkey was ok at best. For the amount of time spent on it, I would have expected a lot more. After all the intros, thank-you's, acknowledgements, etc. there's 256 pages of actual story. Of those, a lot are relatively empty, full or two page frames. Another nineteen(!) pages are two-page full frame spreads of, basically, a single empty page on one side, and what amounts to a flip book with a single character on an otherwise blank page on the other. The story itself was very short, and both the climax and ending were completely predictable. I knew the climax about a quarter of the way in, and the ending about a third in. To me it seems like a modern take on Jarhead in graphic novel form. It's cynical, monotonous, and a little preachy. While that works for - and is enjoyable in - Jarhead, it makes it hard to stay interested in The White Donkey. At best this is a $4.99 book, definitely not worth the asking price on Amazon and The Apple Store (where I got it). Sorry, Max. I love the strip and have been reading it for years, but the book just didn't do it for me.

USMC. Being an Active Duty Marine this book really puts a huge light on the effects of PTSD and how your life changes from it. This book was in all honesty great and 10/10 recommend it to others now after I’ve read it. I hope you write more books. Thank you for this one.

Wow. I have finally had a chance to finish reading the book and wow! I knew that Garcia was going to die, but I wasn't prepared for the way that he died, all the the sorrow and sadness I felt it like if I was there. The book is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to showing what military life is like and for recapping a 9 to 10 month period it was well done. Max, congratulations, this has to be one of the best Graphic novels of all time and you deserve that. Thanks for the book.

..!!. Great read!! Very addicting!! As a fellow 0351 and Vet of OEF I, this brought back memories..

Made me tear up. As a fellow Marine I would like to personally say this book really hits home. I’ve seen some things during my time in. When Garcia went flying out of the truck and the after math that followed. I stood shocked and I started to think about everything. Tomorrow is Memorial Day I will remember I will always remember

Simply amazing. Raw and realistic. Active duty in a nutshell.

Good. Book gotta read for yourself

As real as it gets. Whether you were there or not to relate to this book you can still get an under standing and connect on a whole different level.

Foolish not to buy. Deep, touching, grasping story. Im not a military member and i may not relate but i made me feel things ive never felt. Amazing story

Moving. I’m AD/AF, picked up interest in the comic strip from my Marine brother-in-law, loved from that day since! Been really looking forward to reading this, and am glad I did! I’ve been lucky in my 6 deployments, to not be on the ground for any real engagements, but I have nothing but respect for all those on the ground every day and as always want to thank those who do. After I finished reading this it made me really think about a number of things from why I joined to why I’m still in. I feel that everyone who serves, needs to reflect at times when needed to keep focus and clear the head, and this book is another in a few instances that I’ve reflect and I say thank you for that!

Fantastic. Great little read when I'm at work taking a break, love the Facebook page and just wanted to say how amazingly well written and illustrated this graphic novel was.

Brilliant Versatility. Based on the Terminal Lance series I didn't think the author could write something this amazingly relatable and beautiful. This story had me in tears by the end of it. Definitely worth the read.

Great story. Very touching. First story to make cry in awhile.

Great book!. I finished this book quickly because it was so interesting and captivating! I could not turn my head away at all. Well worth the money and the read. I am a Poolee for the Marines and I'm very excited to leave. Definitely recommend this book!

Incredibly eye opening and powerful. Absolutely amazing book, I would recommend it to anyone.
