Product Description
Product Description
For the first time here is a publicly available account of the terror and inhumanities experienced by those seeking sanctuary from genocide and placing their lives and their trust in the hands of the peace keepers. Unarmed, starved and deprived of basic humanitarion needs the people of the 'safe haven' of Srebrenica placed their complete reliance on the promise of protection by the United Nations The book is compiled from first hand experience of the events by Hasan himself as well as other survivors of the genocide. It provides a detailed chronology covering the days leading up to the notorious 7/11 when the genocide of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica began and the subsequent period during which the world media continued to propagate the message that nothing sinister was going on: it took the best part of six years before genocide was officially deemed to have taken place in 2001. This unique account is both an exhilarating read and a major point of historical reference.
About the Author
Hasan Nuhanovic is A Bosnian Muslim who worked as a translator for the United Nations. As such he worked very closely with the Dutch Battalion (DutchBat3) tasked with protecting the unarmed population of Srebrenica. His mother, father and brother were all killed in the genocide after the Dutch Battalion refused to grant them, or any other civilians refuge within the UN compound as mass executions by the Serbs were taking place.

Reading this book is not an easy reading, it is actually demanding for the amount of information provided and the quantity of data listed very precisely by the author. It took me a long time to finish it but I have to say it was a worthwhile reading, which explains in full details what happened in Srebrenica, which we still largely ignore almost twenty years later. It raises many questions about the U.N. and international role in the Srebrenica's genocide and answers to them in a very detailed way. At the end of the book, a little chapter (Lunch at my mother's) is particularly moving and impressive, especially because it shows the arrogance of the U.N. operators and the fact that they didn't do anything to support the local population who was in desperate need for help. Zlatko Dizdarevic titled one of his books "The U.N. died in Sarajevo", and it seems to me that U.N. died in Srebrenica too. I think that everyone who cares about what happened in Yugoslavia during the war and wants to know the real truth about Srebrenica must read this book.
