Travels in the Land of War: An Outsider's Experience in Yugoslavia
Print-GS, 2014. Hardcover. "Kurt Köpruner's travelogue reads like a deep, fascinating, and lengthy conversation with a friendly stranger who spares no effort to find out everything about his surroundings. His eyes and ears are wide open, as is his mind and his heart. This makes him into a wonderful guide through the valleys of truth and the mountains of lies on a haunting journey through four Yugoslavian wars of the 1990s. Consistent to a fault, he has dedicated his work---"vicariously for all the victims of the wars in the Balkans"--to four women, one Croatian, one Bosnian, one Albanian, and one Serbian, who had helped him to understand the many facets of the Yugoslavian tragedy." --David Binder, The New York Times. Very Good. Item #9297
