christopher Mulaudzi said Welcome to Sarajevo: a masterpice. 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 . Sweet Story Aurora Bodie I skipped through alot. I really just wanted to know about the little girl. Too much writing about the war there and I wanted to know more about life back in England. Individual tragedy turned to triumph A sad, tragic account, with a glimmer of hope found in the life rescue of a little girl who get's a better chance at life.
