Nothing can prepare you for Anthony Loyd's portrait of war. It is the story of the unspeakable terror and the visceral, ecstatic thrill of combat, and the lives and dreams laid to waste by the bloodiest conflict that Europe has witnessed since the Second World War. Born into a distinguished military family, Loyd was raised on the stories of his ancestors' exploits and grew up fascinated with war. Unsatisfied by a brief career in the British Army, he set out for the killing fields in Bosnia. It was there--in the midst of the roar of battle and the life-and-death struggle among the Serbs, Croatians, and Bosnian Muslims--that he would discover humanity at its worst and best. Profoundly shocking, poetic, and ultimately redemptive, this is an uncompromising look at the brutality of war and its terrifyingly seductive power.

Book Description Condition: Good Ex Library. 8 unabridged cassette tapes in original plastic case, which has unobtrusive library stickers. Case has small dent on one corner. Running time: 12 hrs. From Library Journal: "Loyd, a crack war correspondent for the Times of London, exposes the excruciating horror of combat in both Bosnia and Chechnya Europe's most devastating military campaigns since World War II and ruthlessly analyzes his own motives for seeking the assignments. The author was after the excitement of war that he did not find in his own military service but was mentally unprepared to observe the chaos he discovered in the life-and-death struggle among the Serbs, Croatians, and Bosnian Muslims. In this powerful book, the award-winning international reporter takes a close look at the seductive savagery of the conflict from the brink of his own abyss. Read in a well-phrased and beautifully modulated British accent by Steven Crossley, this superbly written work is a classic of war literature for young and old alike.". Ex-Library.
