內容簡介: |
As a senior foreign correspondent for The Times of
London, Janine di Giovanni was a firsthand witness to the brutal
and protracted break-up of Yugoslavia. With unflinching
sensitivity, Madness Visible follows the arc of the wars in
the Balkans through the experience of those caught up in them:
soldiers numbed by the atrocities they commit, women driven to
despair by their life in paramilitary rape camps, civilians di
Giovanni among them caught in bombing raids of uncertain origin,
babies murdered in hate-induced rage.
Di Giovanni’s searing memoir examines the turmoil of the Balkans
in acute detail, and uncovers the motives of the leaders who
created hell on earth; it raises challenging questions about ethnic
conflict and the responsibilities of foreign governments in times
of mass murder. Perceptive and compelling, this unique work of
reportage from the physical and psychological front lines makes the
madness of war wholly visible.
