From Booklist:
The title of this thought-provoking anthology reflects the feelings of many in this ravaged area, a cry of "What did we do to deserve this?" Ali and Lifschultz have painstakingly collected some of the finest essays and even poetry dealing with the conflict; contributors range from foreign correspondents to Croatian nationals who must use pseudonyms to avoid persecution. Almost all contributors bemoan the 1992 American presidential election that completely brushed aside the conflict, and there are numerous references to the failed Vance-Owen compromise that took a half-hearted stab at peace in the region. The editors' extensive interview with Yale professor Ivo Banac is probably the book's highlight, explaining the conflict in both historical and political terms. Editors Ali and Lifschultz try hard to be fair, but Milosevic, John Major, and both the Bush and Clinton administrations do not come off well. Joe Collins
From Library Journal:
This rich collection presents the multicultural character of Bosnia to the Western world and serves to remind all readers of the immense tragedy that is occurring in what was formerly Yugoslavia. Why Bosnia? offers a blend of historical essays, political reporting, eyewitness accounts, analysis, and literary interpretations from an international group of writers (which includes David Rieff, Christopher Hitchens, Ivo Banac, Bogdan Denitch, and Slavenka Draculic). A 40-page introduction by the editors provides political and historical background and sets the moral tone of the collection. This major addition to the growing shelf of impassioned books on the Bosnia crisis is an indispensable work for all libraries.
