À propos de cet audio

Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Peter Maass went to the Balkans as a reporter at the height of the nightmarish war there, but this audiobook is not traditional war reportage.

Maass examines how an ordinary Serb could wake up one morning and shoot his neighbor, once a friend - then rape that neighbor's wife. He conveys the desperation that makes a Muslim beg the United States to bomb his own city in order to end the misery. And Maass does not falter at the spectacle of U.N. soldiers shining searchlights on fleeing refugees - who are promptly gunned down by snipers waiting in the darkness.

Love Thy Neighbor gives us an unflinching vision of a late-20th-century hell that is also a scathing inquiry into the worst extremes of human nature. Like Michael Herr's Dispatches, it is an utterly gripping audiobook that will move and instruct us for years to come.

The Beast is indeed out there and those divisive lines are losing their seams.
We had better learn the lessons of history quickly especially in this time where Nationalism and Far-Right groups disseminate their toxic world views and once seemingly intelligent people start believing in absurd groups where Democrats are all now Satanic Baby Eaters.
A modern country that hosted the Olympics descended into furious ethnic bloodshed a short while later. As a citizen of a city that also showcased the Olympics, I’m very aware we too could fall into such violence. This book punctuates what happens when.

Compelling and visceral

This is one of the best books I’ve read/listened to in a long time. Peter Maass is an eloquent writer and describes his experiences (tragic and horrific as many of them are) beautifully. George Guidall narrated the book perfectly as well. I would recommend this to anyone interested in modern Balkan history. (Note that this book is not a comprehensive description of the war but rather a collection of the journalist's experiences and encounters in Bosnia in the early 1990s.)

This book carries grim facts and even grimmer warnings for the future of so-called "civilized" countries. The wild beast lives within us all, and there are those who would see it set free.

Prescient

The story follows the journalist around as he looks for people that share their experiences. Not what I was looking for.
