About this book

"Welcome to Sarajevo is set in that city during the war in Bosnia and involves a British foreign correspondent, stationed in war-torn Sarajevo, who discovers an orphanage on the front line. He attracts international attention to the situation through his news reports, smuggles out one of the children to England, and then risks his life returning to the city to get the child's mother to approve his desire to adopt the child." "Based on the experiences of ITN journalist, Michael Nicholson, the screenplay is exemplary in its ability to interweave catastrophic public events with an intimate personal story, creating a structure as random as the war it depicts. Frank Cottrell Boyce takes a war that was almost invisible, that was certainly ignored, and brings it sharply into focus in a way that is unsentimental, yet human."--BOOK JACKET.
