Alexandra Stiglmayer interviewed survivors of the continuing war in BosniaHerzegovina in order to reveal, to a seemingly deaf world, the horrors of the ongoing war in the former Yugoslavia. The womenprimarily of Muslim but also of Croatian and Serbian originhave endured the atrocities of rape and the loss of loved ones. Their testimony, published in the 1993 German edition, is bare, direct, and its cumulative effect overwhelming.The first English edition contains Stiglmayers updates to her own two essays, one detailing the historical context of the current conflict and the other presenting the core of the book, interviews with some twenty victims of rape as well as interviews with three Serbian perpetrators. Essays investigating mass rape and war from ethnopsychological, sociological, cultural, and medical perspectives are included.New essays by Catharine A. MacKinnon, Rhonda Copelon, and Susan Brownmiller address the crucial issues of recognizing the human rights of women and children. A foreword by Roy Gutman describes war crimes within the context of the UN Tribunal, and an afterword by Cynthia Enloe relates the mass rapes of this war to developments and reactions in the international womens movement.Accounts of torture, murder, mutilation, abduction, sexual enslavement, and systematic attempts to impregnateall in the name of ethnic cleansingmake for the grimmest of reading. However brutal and appalling the information conveyed here, this book cannot and should not be ignored.

I appreciated the insights provided in 'The War Against Women in Bosnia-Herzegovina'. It's a crucial topic that needs more attention. That said, the content can be quite heavy and emotionally taxing. Be prepared for some tough reading, but it's worth it for raising awareness.

Informative but Lacked Flow
I found the book informative, shedding light on a dark chapter of history. However, the writing felt a bit disjointed at times, which made it hard to stay engaged. Still, the stories shared are vital, and I'm glad I read it, just wished it flowed better.
