From the Back Cover
"One of Bosnia's leading intellectuals explains the Bosnian experience by critiquing the politics and ideology that brought about the great destruction-both material and spiritual-of Bosnia and Herzegovina. These incisive and theologically profound essays address the confrontation between the West and Islam as the author explores the realm of humanity's long-standing search for the roots of evil in the dual nature of mankind to gain insight into ways of achieving peace. By drawing on the Bosnian situation, the author explores questions of identity and otherness, knowledge and transcendence, authority and authoritarianism, and tradition and fundamentalism, and he argues for a reconciliation between modernity and tradition for the benefit of modern coexistence, not just in his native land but throughout the world."

Excellent Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sarajevo Essays: Politics, Ideology, and Tradition (Paperback)
Great insight in depth into West failure to protect Bosnia from agression. The book was written in Bosnia and not serbo-Croatian as the review points out...Brilliant language.
