Zlata's Diary: A Child's Life in Wartime Sarajevo: Revised Edition by Zlata Filipović

5.0

This was a quick and easy read, as one would expect from a child's diary. Zlata's frustration - she just wants to be a normal kid without all this politics and war crap - is palpable and heart wrenching. Hearing in her own words the hardships she and her family faced is agonizing and brings to mind nothing but the millions of kids around the world dealing with war and trauma even today.
