A Soldier's Journey into Bosnia's Heart of Darkness Author(s): Milos Stankovic, Martin Bell, M.P. Format: Paperback Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers, United Kingdom Imprint: HarperCollins ISBN-13: 9780006530909, 978-0006530909 Synopsis The powerful, disturbing and highly acclaimed account of a British officer in the Parachute Regiment, of part Yugoslav origin, painfully caught up in the savage maelstrom of the Bosnian war. Milos Stankovic worked as an interpreter and liaison officer for senior British commanders and two British UN generals - Mike Rose and Rupert Smith. Armed with the pseudonym 'Mike Stanley' he was propelled from one nerve-racking crisis to another as he helped negotiate ceasefires between rival warlords, secured the release of UN hostages and organised the escape from Sarajevo of stricken families. Yet his close contacts with the Bosnian Serb leadership of Dr Karadzic and General Mladic bred suspicion and paranoia on all sides - not just in the Bosnian Muslim and Serb ranks (who thought he might be a British spy - General Rose's 'trusted mole') but in the minds of the Americans as well. In a final, horrific twist, the author was arrested by the British authorities on suspicion of being a Serb spy - two and a half years after returning from Bosnia.
