This was incredibly intense. I learned a great deal about the Serbian/Bosnian conflict. I grew up during the war and remember hearing bits and pieces of it on the news. Because I grew up in a town with such a rich Slav heritage, we actually read a book about the war in grammar school (Zlata's Diary). Like so much of the discussion about the war, that book was based in Sarajevo and it was very refreshing to see the perspective from Gorazde.

Anything by Joe Sacco is a great read, but this book of his hit home for me the most.
