News correspondent Michael Nicholson went to Sarajevo to report on the horrors of the Bosnian War, but ended up smuggling one little girl away from the carnage. Natasha’s Story is the heart-wrenching account of how the TV reporter risked everything to bring a nine-year-old orphan home with him, and gave her a new life 1,000 miles from her native land. The true story, which went on to become the award-winning film Welcome to Sarajevo, is both an indictment of the horror and futility of the Bosnian War and a tribute to one girl’s courage. Brought up to date with brand-new material and recent photographs, Natasha’s Story is released as an ebook for the first time to mark the 20-year anniversary of her rescue from Sarajevo – an event that made headlines around the world.
