Sacco's meticulously researched and beautifully drawn narrative follows the lives of ordinary Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. He captures the daily indignities and humiliations they face, as well as their resilience and their dreams for a better future.

Palestine is not just a political statement, but a deeply personal story. Sacco's own experiences as a war correspondent in Bosnia and Herzegovina give him a unique perspective on the conflict. He understands the trauma of war and the lasting scars it leaves on individuals and communities.

In Palestine, Sacco does not shy away from the complexities of the conflict. He presents multiple perspectives, including those of Israelis and Palestinians. He shows the human cost of both sides of the conflict, and he challenges readers to think critically about the issues.

Palestine is a powerful and moving work of art. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the human cost of war.
