Read from June 08 to 09, 2011

It's hard to find words to describe this book, other than to say it's almost impossible to put down. Saying it's a testament to the folly of war is a mighty understatement. It has you questioning the point of humanity itself. Tochman's writing, translated from Polish, is spare and stripped. His matter-of-fact observations of mass graves and genocide add to its impact. No-one who reads it can believe there will be true peace in Bosnia any time soon.
