Riassunto

War ravaged Bosnia 1995. Srebrenica is only months away from its ignominious and shameful nemesis. A handful of miles away after three years under siege, starved and shelled, the Moslems of Gorazde await a similar fate. A new British Army unit arrives in Gorazde. Its Medical Officer becomes increasingly aware that the deepest scars of war are not caused by shells and bullets alone. The courage and resilience of the people of Gorazde, friendships and unrequited love in the shadow of war would bring enduring memories and emotional trauma.

Dr. Robert Whelan graduated from Liverpool University in 1972, and worked as a GP in Huyton, Merseyside for 18 years. At the onset of the Gulf War he joined the TA serving as a Captain in 208(V) Field Hospital (Liverpool). In 1994 he took a Short Service Commission in the Regular Army and served in Bosnia, Canada, Germany and UK, in the rank of Major. On leaving the Army in 2000 he returned to mainstream General Practice. He enjoys living in West Lancashire with his wife Kathy. A keen walker, Rob's main interests are railways, and the Second World War. His favourite authors are Thomas Hardy, and Sir. Walter Scott, but his most impressionable recent read was: "The Reader" by Bernhard Schlink.
