- Contents Summary
- Bill Tribe, a British professor, who taught at Sarajevo University for 26 years, returns to Sarajevo after an absence of 4 months to see how its people are living under the siege, meanwhile trying to rescue his family, especially his son-in-law. Tribe brings pictures of his new grandson to his son-in-law, Samir, who has not seen his wife since she was evacuated to England at the beginning of the war. Tribe tells of Nikola Koljevic, a former colleague of his who became a high-ranking Bosnian Serb nationalist, as well as how he sought out medical attention from Radovan Karadzic, a practicing psychiatrist at the time. He recalls the initial shots of the war fired on April 5 when hundreds of Sarajevans gathered to protest against the proposal by the Serbian Democratic Party to partition the country, and the Miskina Street massacre, among other events.
