My
War Gone By, I Miss It So
by Anthony Loyd
My War Gone By, I Miss It So is a fiercely compelling and beautifully
written personal account of the Bosnian war. The book alternates between
Anthony Loyd's experiences in Bosnia and personal reflections of his time
in the British army, his parents' divorce, his estrangement from his father,
and his heroin addiction. Loyd describes the war at eye level: detailing
the way bodies look after they've been shot or blown up, looking through
the sights of a Muslim gun trained on a Serb soldier, traveling with a
French mercenary, and fleeing from advancing Serbs during battle. The book
is filled with firefights and mutilated corpses and is not for the squeamish.
Bosnia was "a playground where the worst and most fantastic excesses of
the human mind were acted out." For Loyd, the high of battle substituted
for the high of heroin and vice versa: "I had come to Bosnia partially
as an adventure. But after a while I got into the infinite death trip.
I was not unhappy. Quite the opposite. I was delighted with most of what
the war had offered me: chicks, kicks, cash and chaos; teenage punk dreams
turned real and wreathed in gunsmoke."
Loyd's big break as a war correspondent came when another British journalist
was wounded. He had arrived in Bosnia a war junkie, just trying to figure
out what was going on and sell a few pictures to newspapers on the side.
"Journalism in itself had never really interested me, I saw it only as
a passport to war." He did not cover the war like most other journalists--he
went right into battles. Loyd dismisses what other journalists did in Bosnia:
staying at the Holiday Inn in Sarajevo, driving out to the UN headquarters
in an armoured car, and then returning to the relative safety of their hotel
"to file their heartfelt vitriol with scarcely a hair out of place." Loyd,
who did everything but carry a gun against the Serbs, scoffs at the idea
of journalistic objectivity. "What good did reporting ever do in Bosnia
anyway?" he sneers. In fact, he seems almost embarrassed not to be fighting
himself. "I felt I was a pornographer, a voyeur come to watch." Lucky for
the rest of us he did go to Bosnia. --Linda Killian - Amazon.com Reviews

by Richard Holbrooke
Unavoidably, his behind-the-scenes story of the negotiations is a self-promoting
account. To End a War is also one of the most important and readable

encounters with the Balkan leaders.
