The battle for Sarajevo: Sentenced to victory

by Kerim Lucarevic

این کتاب خاطرات کریم لوچارویچ، فرمانده پلیس سارایوو از سال اول محاصره این شهر در جنگ بالکان است.
نبرد برای سارایوو از پرفروش ترین کتاب های موضوع جنگ بوسنی است و ماجراهای سخت ترین و پیچیده ترین سال محاصره پایتخت بوسنی را مرور می کند.
یکی از تفاوت های اصلی این کتاب با کتاب های دیگر این حوزه نقل رشادت ها و مجاهدت های رزمندگان مسلمان و تاثیر آنها در تغییر روند جنگ بوسنی به نفع تمامیت ارضی بوسنی و هرزگوین است. بیشتر کتاب های مرتبط با جنگ بوسنی روایت ظلم هایی است که توسط چتنیک ها بر مسلمانان گذشته است.
لوچارویچ علاوه بر نقل جنگ و گریزهای سال اول جنگ نگاهی تحلیلی و موشکافانه به اوضاع منطقه و اروپا و حتی تاریخ بالکان دارد و هویت مسلمانان این منطقه را در گذر زمان یادآوری می کند.
این کتاب خاطرات رزمندگانی را مرور می کند که با دست خالی در برابر نصف اروپا ایستادند و طولانی ترین محاصره نظامی تاریخ را با شکست مواجه کردند.

روایت ایشون روایتی هست از سطح میانی
اگه علاقمند به مطالعات تاریخی هستید، بالاخره خوندن این کتاب هم با توجه به کمبود منابع فارسی مرتبط با بوسنی خوبه

Updating my earlier, premature review, I've finished the book and the 5 stars remain, although there are some strong caveats. To fully appreciate this book you should have a strong understanding of the dynamics of the Wars of Yugoslavia and you should have been to Sarajevo and understand both it's geography and neighborhoods. I fulfill both of these pre-requisites and so fully enjoyed learning of the battles and skirmishes that took place in neighborhoods and hills that I've come to know since the war. The book is strictly from the point of view of an on the ground leader of a unit in the Bosnian Army. The author describes only what he experienced or those close to him experienced and so without the context of the wider war I think a reader would be quite lost. The book ends in a very interesting way. In the last 20 pages the action suddenly and with little explanation, leaves Sarajevo. Described in what almost feels like a magical-realism departure, the author first takes the reader down to Konjic, a town on the main road from Sarajevo to Mostar, describing at length and with incredible suspense the action of a Bosnian Army unit to relieve the Croatian Army's siege of the town. From Konjic, the reader is taken then to the east of Sarajevo and accompanies, again to great suspense, a small band of starving residents of the supposed "safe" enclave of Gorazde, as they trek at night, through snowstorms, 40 kilometers through the Serbian lines to a small town in order to bring back a small amount of flour. This last episode, lasting maybe 10 pages acts as a stand-alone short story and is incredibly dramatic and heart-wrenching. Then, the book just ends, with no epilogue, no "where are they now," no description of how the war and the battles for Sarajevo ended.

I rate this book so high because I think it is a one of a kind personal description of these events that has been translated to English. I understand as I rate this book that the subset of readers who will understand why this book is so special is very small. I will end by saying that if you visit Bosnia and Sarajevo you will likely understand, through seeing it's geography and talking to it's people, why this is really a very special place.

Saraybosnadan çok büyük merakla aldığımız eser. Türkçe çevirisini ora hariç bulmak sanırım çok mümkün değil.
Ben dönemin tarihi, kültürü yaşayışı ile dolu bir kitap beklentisi ile aldım, aldık ancak tamamen mücadele ve savaşın anlatıldığı isimlerin birbirine karıştığı bir günlük çıktı. Durumu, Bosnalı Müslümanların yalnızlığı ve acısını paylaştık ve anladık ancak bitirmek çok zordu. Bi yerden sonra sadece bomba patladı, öldük savaştık oldu.
Zaten Türkiyede bulamayacağınızdan sorun yok :)
