Review
Hukanovic's book merits a prominent place in the catologue of witness to twentieth century horror (LITERARY REVIEW )
The evil of those camps has never been recorded as coherently or directly as this (OBSERVER )
It is imperative to read this book... One emerges from it as from a terrible nightmare, crushed by a hatred at once ancestral and constantly present. (Elie Wiesel- from the Foreword )
Mr Hukanovic certainly deserves a place next to others who have written memorably about similar subjects: Primo Levi (the Nazi camps) (NEW YORK TIMES )

Format:Paperback
Heart-rending, unforgettable account of a survivor of the Serbian death camp at Omarska. The parallel extremes of sadism and degradation described by the author strikingly illustrate the dehumanizing purpose of that institution

Format:Paperback
The author is writing his own experiences in Omarska during the Bosnian conflict, but he writes in third person. He invents a character "Dejmo", but the experiences are his own. His tales of emotional and physical torture are so much more heartbreaking than the descriptions often written about by reporters who witnessed it. This man lived it, and he had the strength to write about it. This book is truely worth a read by anyone, no matter what your interests are. It is short but will leave a lasting impression.

Format:Paperback
After reading this book, after wiping away the tears after each page is turned, you must question whether the human race has learnt anything since the holocaust of WW2. This book describes exactly what ordinary people, friends of your own, neighbours, your students can become in the frenzy and hatred of ethnic war. I cannot comprehend how people can become these monsters so portrayed in this book, but time and again, history shows us that this happens again and again.
The writer depicts his survival of the Serb onslaught with all the emotions humans can feel, but hope stands out from all others. Even though he suffered unimaginable tortures, saw his friends mercilessly beaten to death, he always felt hope that he'd survive. Even when the UN deserted Yugoslavia to the ravenous wolves, he held his hope aloft.
This man is a hero to humanity, a hero to all that know human rights should be held in the highest of esteems, a hero to those seemingly without hope. May his life be full of joy and may the perpetrators of these horrific crimes be eventually bought to justice.
