Unbroken: Surviving Milosevic's prisons

by Enver Dugolli, Dr. Alexandra Channer (Translator), Dr. Anna Di Lellio (Foreword)

Enver Dugolli’s powerful prison memoir begins with his arrest in 1997, on the eve of the Kosovo war. 'Unbroken' is a vivid and touching account of his life inside different Yugoslav prisons with other political prisoners from Kosovo. It ends with his release well after the war ended, in 2001. The Milošević regime tried unsuccessfully to isolate Enver, discredit him, emotionally and mentally destroy him, and finally kill him. That plan did not work. In this memoir, Enver captures not only the fear and pain caused by the routine physical and psychological torture of his jailers, but also the spirit of resistance that kept him alive to write his story and testify to the fate met by many others. His detailed description of the May 1999 massacre of more than one hundred Albanian detainees in the prison of Dubrava is a powerful indictment of a war crime that remains unpunished.
