Logavina Street was a microcosm of Sarajevo, a six-block-long history
lesson. For four centuries, it existed as a quiet residential area in
a charming city long known for its ethnic and religious tolerance. On
this street of 240 families, Muslims and Christians, Serbs and Croats
lived easily together, unified by their common identity as Sarajevans.
Then the war tore it all apart. As she did in her groundbreaking
work about North Korea, Nothing to Envy, award-winning journalist
Barbara Demick tells the story of the Bosnian War and the brutal and
devastating three-and-a-half-year siege of Sarajevo through the lives
of ordinary citizens, who struggle with hunger, poverty, sniper fire,
and shellings. Logavina Street paints this misunderstood war and
its effects in vivid strokes—at once epic and intimate—revealing
the heroism, sorrow, resilience, and uncommon faith of its people.
With a new Introduction, final chapter, and Epilogue by the author
