Bosnia Hope in the Ashes Author:David Manuel The only hope we have of not repeating our tragedies is to study their history and causes. Bosnia Hercegovina has become the contemporary symbol of ethnic hatreds run amuck with brutality, devastation, and genocide. David Manuel traveled to Bosnia six times in eight years. This latest time researching for the answer to horrific questions: Why di... more »d all the horror take place? Where is the sanity, the faith?; Where are the peacemakers? Journeying through war-torn cities and war-ravaged countrysides, Manuel met Serb, Muslim, and Croat survivors -- and listened to their stories. As a result, Manuel discovered that all is not hopeless. And that hope lies in the very things that bind all humans to one another -- faith, decency, and a desire for a better world in which to raise their children. Bosnia: Hope In The Ashes is a fascinating journey of land and soul in which readers can discover for themselves what a broken land has to teach -- and that we all had better learn because the costs of such lessons is so very high. -- Midwest Book Review« less
