A vivid, haunting account of the war in Bosnia from 1993 until 1996, from where the author reported for the Daily Telegraph and then the Times. While snipers shot people indiscriminately Loyd, living on whisky-chased adrenaline, fought to understand the compulsion he felt to be there. It is this battle, set against the brutality that tore the Balkans to shreds, that gives the book its anguished focus. He reveals a fractured upbringing, which culminated in the death of the father from whom he had been distant for many years. In addition to the stimulation engendered he was also fighting a heroin dependency.
