BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: 

Zlata's diary. 

By Zlata Filipovic; with an introduction by Janine di Giovanni; translated with notes by Christina Pribichevich-Zoric. 

Zlata began her diary just before her eleventh birthday, when there was peace in Sarajevo and her life was that of a bright, intelligent, carefree young girl. Her early entries describe her friends, her new skis, her family, her grades at school, her interest in joining the Madonna Fan Club. And then, on television, she sees the bombs falling on Dubrovnik. Though repelled by the sight, Zlata cannot conceive of the same thing happening in Sarajevo. When it does, the whole tone of her diary changes.
