Much better than her book on her love affair with a French cameraman. Grounded, heartbreaking, and comprehensive. Her stories on the children of rape, the men who survived Srebenica, and the women who lost all of their male relatives are heartbreaking. She also brings the politicians and warriors like Arkan, Milosevic, and others to life whereas in the past they just seemed like men who were heartlessly evil. She gives you a look into their madness.

It was just too much. I wanted more story and less action. The writings felt chaotic and hectic with not much information, after several pages nothing happened.
