"This is the second work by the now internationally renowned Bosnian journalist Zlatko Dizdarevic dedicated to the atrocities that have been occurring in war-torn Sarajevo since April 1992."

Told in their own words, they reveal the courage of a people and the brotherhood that this war has taught them."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
