In August 1992 an American journalist uncovered the existence of Serb nationalist-run internment camps in and around the Bosnian town of Prijedor. Images of terrorized, emaciated Croat and Muslim detainees, alongside accounts of starvation, rape and murder, shocked the world and forced the prompt closure of these camps. But they were just one aspect of a campaign of ethnic cleansing that helped to drive more than 40,000 people - nearly half the pre-war population of Prijedor - into exile. Beginning with an unadorned account of the hideous events of 1992, Raw Memory offers first-hand testimonies from refugees, camp survivors, war criminals and international agents, and reflects upon the powers and limitations of the international community in its attempts to administer justice or secure reconciliation. This is a tour de force, posing questions essential not only to the future of the former Yugoslavia but to all of Europe.--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. Al
