First published in 2000 and now available in the UK for the first time, this new mint condition edition offers a powerful blend of journalism and art, highly rated by readers and a cornerstone for graphic novel collectors. ## Description 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. Review: Emotional Graphic Novel - Any book dealing with such a sad episode is going to be emotional. The novel is superbly written and seems like it captures the events well. Takes a lot to read as it deals with such a difficult subject. Highly recommend if you like historical graphic novels (especially about conflict). This sits on my shelf next to my Tarde books. Review: Great book - Great book. Moving interviews with detailed illustrations. The cover and paper are made of high quality materials. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 102,386 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 242 in Cartooning 247 in Graphic Arts in Illustration 5,740 in Comics & Graphic Novels by Genre | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 176 Reviews | ## Images ![Safe Area Gorazde: The War in Eastern Bosnia 1992-95 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A14SJjT-VLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emotional Graphic Novel *by M***N on 5 November 2020* Any book dealing with such a sad episode is going to be emotional. The novel is superbly written and seems like it captures the events well. Takes a lot to read as it deals with such a difficult subject. Highly recommend if you like historical graphic novels (especially about conflict). This sits on my shelf next to my Tarde books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by L***O on 28 March 2026* Great book. Moving interviews with detailed illustrations. The cover and paper are made of high quality materials. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Original and Informative on various levels. *by T***Y on 19 July 2014* For anyone who 'missed' the war this is an immense read from both a very localised perspective but also it gives the overall picture and causes of the conflict. One could be forgiven for dismissing the 'comic' book style outright but I can only confirm with others that it is a masterly approach to bringing a conflict to life. It is a work of art on one level and a literary one also. I was old enough to understand the war when it took place but found that it was delivered on the news in a way that failed to illustrate the causes and therefore without the foundations to understand what was going on it passed me by. I bought this together with Martin Bell's ( BBC journalist) 'In Harms Way'. Both are great books in their own right and I now feel enlightened and have a far greater understanding that would enable me to hold my own in any discussion about it. I have also bought the memoirs of Colonel Bob Stewart, who commanded the 1st Cheshire's in their tour as UN peacekeepers, but am yet to read it. This tragic episode in post WW" history has largely been passed over although its repercussions are still being contested in the Court at Hague and the Dutch Courts because of their guilt over the atrocities that they could have perhaps prevented. Any doubts...don't have...buy it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Safe Area Gorazde: The War in Eastern Bosnia 1992-95 - Palestine - Footnotes in Gaza --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/52722571-safe-area-gorazde-the-war-in-eastern-bosnia-1992-95](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/52722571-safe-area-gorazde-the-war-in-eastern-bosnia-1992-95) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
