From Bosnia with Love
A Novel and a Five Year Odyssey
by Javed Mohammed
“A powerful narrative”
“An action-adventure story with romance through time and place.”
It appears like a replay of the Holocaust, except it is 1992
I do it because I can
Who’s going to stop me?
Sam Murad’s conscience is jolted by the genocide
When the Crescent fell to earth
He crossed the Bridge on the Neretva river
He went as a peacekeeper
But is drawn into the conflict
They told him, “If you can see the hills, the hills can see you”
The Serbs and Croats ethnically cleanse Bosnia of its Muslims
What happened we were neighbors?
Propogganada
While the world looked on
Sam forms an attachment with the Bosnian people
And in particular with a beautiful Bosnian sharpshooter Emira Petrovic.
Along with their friend Mehmet, they go on an adventure
It takes them from Sarajevo
To the Srebrenica Concentration camps
Safe Haven?
Not!
Later they relive the past when the conflict spreads
When Kosovars are forced from their homes by the Serbs
And the mosques no longer call the faithful to prayer
They run for their lives
And beg for them too
Who will hear their cries?
Sam, Mehmet, Emira & the KLA go on the offensive
They pass through the Accursed Mountains
In this epic journey Sam realizes the value of life
And if he can save just one life
That of his beloved Emira
It is as if he has saved all humanity
Buy It!
Read It!
