Reporting the Siege of Sarajevo

Description

The Siege of Sarajevo remains the longest siege in modern European history, lasting three times longer than the Battle of Stalingrad and over a year longer than the Siege of Leningrad. Reporting the Siege of Sarajevo provides the first detailed account of the reporting of this siege and the role that journalists played in highlighting both military and non-military aspects of it. The book draws on detailed primary and secondary material in English and Bosnian, as well as extensive interviews with international correspondents who covered events in Sarajevo from within siege lines. It also includes hitherto unpublished images taken by the co-author and award-winning photojournalist, Paul Lowe. Together Morrison and Lowe document a relatively short but crucial period in both the history of Bosnia & Herzegovina, the city of Sarajevo and the profession of journalism. The book provides crucial observations and insights into an under-researched aspect of a critical period in Europe's recent history. 9781350081802.0003 9781350081802.0004 9781350081802.0005 9781350081802.0006 9781350081802.0007 9781350081802.ch-00I 9781350081802.ch-001 9781350081802.ch-002 9781350081802.ch-003 9781350081802.ch-004 9781350081802.ch-005 9781350081802.ch-006 9781350081802.ch-00C 9781350081802.0008 9781350081802.0009 9781350081802.0010
