Blood
and Vengeance: One Family's Story of the War in Bosnia
by Chuck Sudetic
"There is a method to presenting the reality of war in [New York] Times
style," writes Chuck Sudetic, "a restrictive method but a perfectly valid
one just the same. It focuses mainly on institutions and political leaders
and their duties and decisions, while leaving the common folk to exemplify
trends, to serve as types: a fallen soldier, a screaming mother, a dead
baby.... The method is described by various terms: detachment, disinterestedness,
dispassion, distancing, and others with negative prefixes engineered to
obliterate any relationship between observer and observed."
Although Sudetic was able to maintain his detachment for the numerous
stories he filed from the frontlines of the Bosnian war for the Times,
it could not ultimately last. Blood and Vengeance examines the events leading
up to the July 1995 genocidal massacre that took place in and around the
town of Srebenica from the perspective of the Celik family (to whom the
author is related by marriage). Sudetic ably blends the intimate chaos
and terror of the Celiks' lives with broader historical and contemporary
accounts that provide a fuller context for what happened. The people here
are not types, but vividly portrayed individuals in whose lives the reader
gradually becomes absorbed. This book ranks with Peter Maass's Love Thy
Neighbor as one of the closest--and most chilling--looks at the tumultuous
events that shattered post-cold war Eastern Europe. --Ron Hogan - Amazon.com
