Macedonia: What Does It Take to Stop a War? by Heather Roberson, Ed Piskor, Harvey Pekar
4.0
While I love Pekar, and graphic novels, this one was definitely written for the text-lover. Not that I minded, it just relied *heavily* on the written word for explaining the complicated history of Macedonia, as opposed to Joe Sacco's work or [link:Pyongyang] by Guy Delisle.
I mainly read this book due to the its subtitle, "what does it take to stop a war?" and how peacemakers worked to help the constant destabilization in the Balkan arena. Fascinating--complex and understated, the main character, Heather, is an earnest, detailed and smart student from UC Berkeley's Peace Studies program. This would make a great read for any undergrad looking for an alternative to "International Relations" programs.
