"[An] unforgettable account. . . . Vivid, compassionate prose. . . . Few writers can match her evocations of individual suffering in wartime." --Newsweek (International Edition)
"Many journalists have written accounts of the wars of Yugoslav dissolution. Madness Visible is among the best of them. . . . One of Giovanni's strengths is that if she takes sides it is simply the side of the victim. . . . Succeeds admirably." -Times Literary Supplement "A compelling and meticulous account. . . . The author is at her very best when she writes about the people. . . . When di Giovanni speaks of Sarajevo -and she does speak, her voice poignant, grief admixed with rage and frustration- it is gripping." -San Francisco ChronicleBringing a human face to the tragedy of modern warfare, this incisive study looks at the devastating consequences of the breakup of Yugoslavia for the Balkan people, describing the cycles of violence and vengeance, atrocities, and mindless brutality that have wracked the region and assessing the long-term impact of the breakup of age-old communities.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 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. Artikel-Nr. 9780375724558
