En savoir plus sur le livre
This is a publicly available account of the terror and inhumanities experienced by those seeking sanctuary from genocide and placing their lives and trust in the hands of peacekeepers. Unarmed, starved, and deprived of basic humanitarian needs, the people of the 'safe haven' of Srebrenica relied on the promise of protection by the United Nations. The book is compiled from firsthand experiences of the events by Hasan himself as well as other survivors of the genocide. It provides a detailed chronology covering the days leading up to the notorious 7/11 when the genocide of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica began and the subsequent period during which the world media continued to propagate the message that nothing sinister was occurring. It took nearly six years before genocide was officially deemed to have taken place in 2001. This unique account is both an exhilarating read and a major point of historical reference.
