One of the classic graphic novels of war, from perhaps the greatest journalist working in comics, this tells the story of the Bosnian War from a variety of personal viewpoints.

Sacco visited Gorazde -- a supposed "safe area" which saw more than its fair share of combat -- several times during and after the latter years of the war, and tells the stories of the people he got to know there.

The result doesn't try to be a high-level history of the war; rather, this describes what things looked like on the ground, from the people who survived to tell the tale.

Not easy reading, this comes with heavy content warnings for its plain descriptions of the omnipresent death that these folks lived through. But if you can deal with it, it's a must-read.
