A Serb and a Muslim, friends before the war, exchanging gossip via shortwave radio only hours before they will try to kill each other. A Sarajevo couple passionately refusing to go anywhere together for fear a mortar shell might orphan their children. A battlefield doctor performing miracles of surgery without anesthetics.
In episode after episode, Peter Maass takes us with him into the minefields of modern war: a whole country is the battleground, every living being in it a combatent. His fierce, vivid, truth-telling and deeply personal book makes us see the devil under the skin - and the thinness of the line between civilization and chaos.
A foreign correspondent journeys inside a world of war in a chilling portrait of the conflict in Bosnia, from the battlefield of Sarajevo, to the atrocities that have been reported, to the nightmarish existence of those caught in the crossfire. 50,000 first printing. $50,000 ad/promo.
