This graphic novel tells the true story of Ervin Rustemagic and his family, as they struggled to preserve their lives and dignity during the eighteen month seige of Sarajevo in 1992-93. The story is based on the faxes that Ervin sent, which provided him with a link with the outside world.

From the Publisher
ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL AND IMPORTANT GRAPHIC NOVELS EVER
In 1945, we told the world, "Never again." In 1992, the promise was broken into bloody shards. That was the year the war broke out in Sarajevo, Bosnia, the year that genocide revisited the planet. It was the year that Ervin Rustemagic — an international businessman whose clients included author Joe Kubert — found himself and his family trapped in a city under siege. Ervin’s only means of communication to the outside world was via his fax machine. As Joe began to receive these messages from Ervin, he did what he had done for years — he put the story to paper. Renowned comics creator Joe Kubert has been writing and illustrating comic books since the 1940s, including Batman, Superman, Tarzan, Enemy Ace, and Sgt. Rock. Fax from Sarajevo is by far one of the highest achievements of one of comics’ greatest living masters. The hardcover edition of Fax from Sarajevo has won numerous awards including a Harvey Award for Best Graphic Album of Original Work, an Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album, The Don Thompson Award for best Nonfiction Book, The Prix Alph-Art ‘98 Award for best foreign book published in France, Le Prix France Info Award for the best non-fiction book published in France, and the Parent’s Choice Award.
