Couldn't Put It Down

Dervla Murphy's description of several visits to Yugoslavia and the republics that gained worldwide headlines throughout the 1990s is hard to put down. Through her interactions with the people on the ground affected by the actions of Milosevic and the international community, she conveys the viewpoints of all sides as well as the day-to-day reality of living in the region and trying to rebuild after the hell that so many endured.

Having been to Croatia and Slovenia a couple years ago, I wanted to learn more about life for the people on the street as well as what led to the policies of ethnic cleansing. I couldn't put this book down and am looking forward to reading more travel writing by this author. Wonderful!!!
