Safe Area Gorazde. Short Title SAFE AREA GORAZDE. Sacco has produced a work that improbably manages to combine rare insight into what the war in Bosnia felt like on the ground with a mature and nuanced political and historical understanding of the conflict.

About this product
Product Information
The first UK publication of Joe Sacco's classic, groundbreaking work of comics journalism with a foreword by Christopher Hitchens. In late 1995 and early 1996, cartoonist/reporter Joe Sacco travelled four times to Gorazde, a UN-designated safe area during the Bosnian War, which had teetered on the brink of obliteration for three and a half years. Still surrounded by Bosnian Serb forces, the mainly Muslim people of Gorazde had endured heavy attacks and severe privation to hang on to their town while the rest of Eastern Bosnia was brutally 'cleansed' of its non-Serb population. But as much as SAFE AREA GORAZDE is an account of a terrible siege, it presents a snapshot of people who were slowly letting themselves believe that a war was ending and that they had survived.Since it was first published in 2000, SAFE AREA GORAZDE has been recognized as one of the absolute classics of graphic non-fiction. We are delighted to publish it in the UK for the first time, to stand beside Joe Sacco's other books on the Cape list -PALESTINE, THE FIXER and NOTES FROM A DEFEATIST.Product Identifiers

A harrowing account of suffering and resilience
Harrowing story that has to be told of the suffering and resilience of the people of Goražde during the Bosnian Conflict made more graphic by being told in graphics. Apart from my own account as told in my own book “Lamentations” I have been unable to find any other first hand accounts of the siege.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
