In the summer of 1993, the world closely followed the fate of a little girl dubbed the "Sarajevo Princess" by the BBC. Five-year-old Irma Hadžimuratović was severely injured during the bombing of Sarajevo. The girl was taken to a hospital and came under the care of a young surgeon, Edo Jaganjac, who fought with all his strength for her survival. However, the sharpest battle was fought against the unwillingness of indifferent, sometimes malicious bureaucrats and international officials, the so-called peacekeepers. Edo Jaganjac wrote a testimony that will forever be etched in the memory of every reader. Illegal transport of the wounded under continuous fire, incredible feats in barely usable operating rooms, hypocritical behavior of international officials, deepening friendships and professional relationships among the exhausted but immensely willing hospital staff...
