Su questo libro

Recensione:

"A fascinating look at war from a front-row seat." --Denver Rocky Mountain News

"Loyd's fragmentary reports morph into first-rate war correspondence from Bosnia that places him into the great tradition of Hemingway, Caputo, and Michael Herr." --Boston Globe

"An extraordinary evocation of the war in Bosnia, that is also a painful personal story . . . idiosyncratic, unsparingly graphic, refreshingly critical, and beautifully written." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"What a writer, what a vision. It's hard to read and not be impressed." --San Diego Union Tribune

"Battlefield reportage does not get more up close, gruesome and personal." --The New York Times
