Essential reading from ?Books on Bosnia?

This short review is from "Books on Bosnia" published by The Bosnian Institute. Powerful account of the nature of the war in Bosnia (especially central Bosnia) during 1992-3, by a leading correspondent. Of particular interest for its coverage of the Croat-Muslim conflict, though it is less reliable on the background to Yugoslavia's break-up and descent into war

Not the first book to read on Balkans but a MUST still.

I am surprised no one else has written on this book. I only say "don't let this be the first book you read on the Balkans" because it really seems to scare you, especially what the Serbians did. Thus, I wonder is it "anti-Serb?" I don't think so, I think it reflects the truth. Although, there are many passages I remember, that of the migration out of Bosnia and seeing body parts such as a hand sticks out in my mind, so does forcing innocent parties to walk through minefields. If this is all true, this book seems to be the most damning in support of Nato involvement. I have read now, many books on the Balkans, this is a must read. I am sorry I have not seen others comment on this.
