The Bridge Betrayed: Religion and Genocide in Bosnia
The Bosnian conflict was not simply a civil war or a feud of age-old adversaries. Michael Sells, author of The Bridge Betrayed, explains that it was a systematic campaign of genocide and a Christian holy war spurred by religious mythologies. Sells examines historical accounts of events leading to the Bosnian civil war, and the Srebrenica genocide, through a strong social, religious and political context.
