Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Safe Area Gorazde translates the events in Bosnia into graphic novel format. An indispensable document of the conflict.

Sacco spent four months in Bosnia, between 1995-1996, immersing himself in the human side of life during wartime, researching stories that are rarely found in conventional news coverage. Here he focuses on the Muslim enclave of Gorazde, which was besieged by Bosnian Serbs during the war.

The book is strongly compared to the Pulitzer prize winner Maus, and advance praise rates it as being one of the most important documents to emerge from the conflict as it portrays day-to-day life at the heart of these events.
