In late 1995 and early 1996, cartoonist/reporter Joe Sacco travelled four times to Gorazde, a UNdesignated 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 nonSerb 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 nonfiction. We are delighted to publish it in the UK for the first time, to stand beside Joe Saccos other books on the Cape list Palestine, The Fixer and Notes from a Defeatist.
