With Their Backs to the World by Ǻsne Seierstad

This based on a set of interviews made by the author in Serbia. There are 14 portraits. these cover all shades of the social spectrum, ranging from die hard Titoists, Serbian Orthodox priests, supporters of Misolevic through to dissidents. Each portrait is written in a straightforward style and is as objective as it can be . The insights into the Serbian character is fascinating. I came away with the distinct impression it is going to take some time for the Serbians to move forward. As the author says at the end of the introduction the title is apt.

 

I enjoyed this
