Quotes

Colum Murphy witnessed the Western intervention in Bosnia — during and after the war—from the inside. His account provides important testimony, both about the dealings of the UN diplomats and military men, and about the attitudes of the Bosnian politicians in Sarajevo and Pale. Above ail, this is a deeply humane book, by someone who has not been afraid (unlike some of his colleagues at the time) to distinguish clearly between good and evil. — Noel Malcolm, Fellow of AII! Souls College, Oxford; author of Bosnia: A Short History.
