This review is from: Natasha's Story (Hardcover)

I find the book not only informative about the history of the balkans, but it also provides a breathtaking account of the hardships vivited upon the Bosnian people cruelity that was visisted upon Bosnia and its children thanks to the ethnic cleasnisng project engineered and conducted by Serb nationalists. Indeed, Mr Nicholson is not only a good story teller, but he is a jouralist whose account of the Bosnian war is filled with depth, compassion and courage. I have read this book over and over again, and it is simply difficult to put down. I recommened it to students of the balkan history and those who want to follow a career in journalism and creative writing. Welcome to sarajevo is a masterpiece!!!
