Quotes from others about the person
“Dr. Robert Donia has written the best book in any language on the recent history of Sarajevo one of the most complex, fascinating, and misunderstood cities in the world. Dr. Donia, who has given extensive testimony as an expert consultant to the Hague Tribunal on war crimes in the former Yugoslavia, has known Sarajevo intimately since the 1970s and understands the richness, and the sometimes tragic complexity of its multi-cultural heritage. Sarajevo: a Biography is informed by a profound historical understanding and a broad human sympathy. It is mercifully free from ethnoreligious bias or political partisanship, although, precisely for that reason, it will no doubt be attacked by bigots and chauvinists of several persuasions.”
