From creator famainternational.com: " Sarajevo Survival Map 92-96 is the ultimate visual document, a Topography of Life and Death. It is the only Map in the world that has made a visual reference to the tragedy of a besieged European city at the end of 20th century. Representing a successful combination of it's hand-drawn illustration quality, topographic precision, text legends and true portray of the siege elements, such are; number and types of guns surrounding the city, the anti-sniper protection barricades, water sources, a secret underground tunnel, survival gardens, sniping zones and other key strategic urban elements. Serving as a document on the Historical level, an event of true value on a Cultural level, and on a Political level a powerful lesson for all of us." "The siege of the city lasted from May 2, 1992 to February 26, 1996 or 1,395 days, which is the longest siege in the modern history of mankind."
