This Hardcover Edition of Maximilian Uriarte's Battle Born: Lapis Lazuli is autographed on a bookplate by Maximilian Uriarte.

From the bestselling author of The White Donkey, a heartbreaking and visceral graphic novel set against the stark beauty of Afghanistan's mountain villages that examines prejudice and the military remnants of colonialism.
In this hotly anticipatednew work from Maximilian Uriarte, creator of the popular Terminal Lance comics and The White Donkey, tells a "thrillingly cinematic" (Publishers Weekly) story of the personal cost of war and the power of human connection.
Lapis Lazuli is a rich blue semiprecious gemstone found deep in the Sar-i-sang mountains of Afghanistan's Badakhshan province. For thousands of years it has sustained the nearby mining villages, whose inhabitants lived peacefully in the mountainous landscape--until the Taliban, known in the region as the Horsemen, came to seek the riches stored deep beneath the earth. Taliban rule has turned the stone into a conflict mineral, as they steal and sell it for their own gain.
At the behest of the fledgling Afghan government, seeking to wrest back control of the province, United States Marines are sent into the mountains. A platoon led by their eager and naive commander, First Lieutenant Roberts, and a stoic, fierce squad leader, Sergeant King, must overcome barriers of language and culture in this remote region to win the locals' trust, and their freedom from Taliban rule. Along the way, they must also wrestle with their demons--and face unimaginably difficult choices.
A sweeping yet intimate story about brutality, kindness, and the remnants of colonialism, Battle Born: Lapis Lazuli is an epic saga from the voice of a new generation of military veterans.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Battle Born was written and illustrated by infantry Marine and Iraq veteran Maximilian Uriarte, creator of the hit comic strip Terminal Lance. Uriarte enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 2006 at the age of nineteen and served for four years. During his first deployment to Iraq in 2007 he served as an MRAP turret gunner and dismount of India Company's "Jump" platoon in the Zaidon region southeast of Fallujah. He deployed to Iraq again in 2009 as a billeted Combat Photographer and Combat Artist, then enrolling in California College of the Arts. He is the New York Times bestselling author of The White Donkey and the Terminal Lance Ultimate Omnibus.

REVIEWS:

Uriarte's manga-derived graphic chops and storytelling technique have grown immensely since The White Donkey; his deliberate pacing, especially in the book's final sequences, is daringly bold. But the combat-based verisimilitude he brings... is its strongest element.
Gordon Flagg, Booklist

Uriarte's illustrations are lush and vivid, with an appealing manga-tinted realism...The effect is sumptuously cinematic with the depth of an action movie.
Kirkus

...The story works best as a tragic meditation on the value of honor and justice in a world ruled by violence.
Library Journal

An epic saga from the voice of a new generation of military veterans about kindness, brutality, and the remains of colonialism.
Veterans Today

Thrillingly cinematicThis visceral war story reinforces the difficulty of decisions by forces fighting across blurred lines.

Easy use, easy grasp salt and pepper grinders
Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
Wish I got these earlier as well! Easy to use, easy to fill, easy to charge. Seems quite durable and quality is high, not cheap or pkasticky. Easy to grab unit and press button to dispense. The battery charge life seems long lasting esp since we use these every day for meals. Highly recommend!

Stylish and very nice
Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
I opened it up and charged it and it works well only thing I did not like is the knob for the grinding method doesn’t stop so you really don’t know what it’s on until you grind. Other than that it would get 5 stars if it was made a little better on the grinding selection

Absolutely love these!
Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel, Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
I didn’t expect to like them THIS much, but these electric salt and pepper grinders are amazing. They look super sleek on the counter, and the charging base is really convenient — no more buying batteries! The grind size is easy to adjust, and both salt and pepper come out evenly without getting stuck. The LED light is a small thing, but honestly so useful when cooking in the evening. I’ve been using them every day and the battery still holds great. If you’re thinking about getting a set, this one is definitely worth it. Makes cooking and serving so much easier and feels way more premium than I expected.

Revising my first review
Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
All the items were in the box. The grinders are easy to use. The quality of the product is excellent. I had another one from another company a while ago but this one here I would buy again. The light is brighter than most. The grinders works very well. I am resubmitting this review from my previous one. I give this one 5 STARS PLUS
