"This is a thoughtful and courageous book. As NATO bombs rain overhead and Yugoslav anti-aircraft guns flash through the night sky over Belgrade, Jasmina Tesanovic opens her diary and records what it is like to live in a city under siege. Day after day, she takes to the streets in search of her own moral compass, passing by terrified neighbors huddling in basements and mobs of vandals roaming through the city, destroying Western buildings.

Ambiguous about Clinton's "humanitarian war," but vehemently opposed to Milosevic's carnage in Kosovo, she asks: "Which cross should I bear? NATO bombs or Serb killings?" Her answer provides a rare glimpse into the mindset of ordinary Serbs who, because of their isolation and indifference, are paying dearly for the crimes of a tyrant."--BOOK JACKET.
