With Their Backs to the World Portraits from Serbia


Free Download Asne Seierstad, Sindre Kartvedt, "With Their Backs to the World: Portraits from Serbia"
English | 2006 | pages: 352 | ISBN: 0465076025 | EPUB | 0,4 mb
From beloved international reporter Ã…ne Seierstad comes a remarkable exploration of the lives of ordinary Serbs under the regime of Slobodan Milosevic-during the dramatic events leading up to his fall, and finally in the troubled years that have followed.

Her moving and perceptive account follows nationalists, Titoists, Yugonostalgics, rock stars, fugitives, and poets.
