Description - Good People in an Evil Time by Svetlana Broz
Faced with a world in which unspeakable crimes not only went unpublished but were rewarded with glory, profit and power, the Bosnians of all faiths who testify in this book were starkly confronted with limits and possibilities of their own ethical choices. Here, in their own words they describe how people helped one another across ethnic lines and refused the myths promoted by the engineers of genocide. This book refutes the stereotype of inevitable "natural" enmities in the Balkans and reveals the responsibity of individual actions and political manipulations for the genocide; it is a portrait of the experience of war as well as a provocative study of the possibilities of resistance and solidarity. The testimonies reverberate far beyond the frontiers of the former Yugoslavia. The book should be of interest to anyone who wants to understand the reality on the ground of the "ethnic" conflicts of the late 20th and the 21st centuries.
