Review:
'Janine di Giovanni has described war in a way that almost makes me think it never needs to be described again. If you don't want to know what it's really like, don't pick up this book.' Sebastian Junger 'Janine di Giovanni tells us what it was really like on the frontline -- the squalor, the terror, the barbarity, and the randomness of death. But there was also comradeship, hope, glory and, occasionally, the triumph of the human spirit.' Philip Knightley 'Janine di Giovanni is superb - an extraordinarily brave war correspondent and a wonderful writer.' William Shawcross 'Modern war has become ever more Satanic, and never more so than in the Balkans in the 1990s. Janine di Giovanni is our Virgil, guiding us through the circles of that man-made hell: Sarajevo, Kosovo, Pristina. Her depictions of the fighting recall the best correspondence to come out of the Spanish Civil War...If you read no other book about the Balkan wars, read this one.' Philip Caputo
