Summary
Lynne Jones: Then They Started Shooting - Growing Up in Wartime Bosnia
The studious approach and results of Lynne Jones' work, published in this book, are an important contribution to the corpus of literature on Bosnia and the entire area of the former SFRY. They are an important contribution to the study of war in general. We really rarely have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the thoughts of young people and children who were trapped in the tragic maelstrom of war in this way and to follow how they changed throughout their lives. All this is presented to us - partly through a narrative thread, and partly through an analytical approach and thought reflections. It is a touching, well-written and deeply disturbing book.
