Description: "Set at the outbreak of war in Bosnia this diary, penned by the award-winning journalist Vuksanovic, records the extraordinary unfolding of events. The author lived in the small mountain resort of Pale, 15 km above Sarajevo. When Radovan Karadzic launched his savage assault on the city in April 1992, Vuksanovic - refusing to collaborate - became a prisoner in his own home, cut off from his children and friends who remained in Sarajevo. He expressed his terror and disgust within these pages." "During the first hundred days of Karadzic's rule in Pale Vuksanovic describes, in chilling detail, not only the horrors of war - the looting, ethnic cleansing and betrayal that became commonplace - but also the profound mental strain of conflict on the individual."--BOOK JACKET.
