"Outside observers of the Bosnian drama, as well as those who directly participated in it, are appalled and powerless before the martyrdom of Sarajevo and the genocide of a nation whose only mistake was in an attempt to defend the democratic ideal, respect and tolerance, these fundamental values of our societies - in this short but convincing book by Dževad Karahasan, they will find the key to the puzzle that is searched in vain: where does so much savage stubbornness come from in the demolition of a city and the model of civilization that that city represents." (Juan Goytisolo in the presentation of the French edition of Dnevnik selidbe in Le Monde)
