...[H]ad I not read [The Bridge Betrayed: Religion and Genocide in Bosnia], conversations like this would have kept me in the dark, morally and spiritually inattentive to the power of propaganda and self-delusion.
Library Journal
A Serbian American professor of religion, Sells (Mystical Languages of Unsaying) explores all angles surrounding the recent systematic destruction of the Bosnian Muslims. He lays down a solid background of the origins of the war and explains the Serbian attitude that religion equals nationality, which shows why the Serbs believe the Muslims are traitorous to their country. Sells also describes Croatia's role in the conflict. Along with some fascinating reports and details on the genocide, he spends the final two chapters blasting the U.N., NATO, and the West for not becoming more involved in stopping the crimes against the Bosnians.-- Jill Jaracz, Professionals Library Service, Chicago
