Sacco (the critically-acclaimed author of \u003cem\u003ePalestine\u003c\/em\u003e) spent five months in Bosnia in 1996, immersing himself in the human side of life during wartime, researching stories that are rarely found in conventional news coverage. The book focuses on the Muslim-held enclave of Gorazde, which was besieged by Bosnian Serbs during the war. Sacco lived for a month in Gorazde, entering before the Muslims trapped inside had access to the outside world, electricity or running water. \u003cem\u003eSafe Area Gorazde\u003c\/em\u003e is Sacco's magnum opus and with it he is poised too become one of America's most noted journalists.
