For four centuries, it existed as a quiet residential area in a charming city long known for its ethnic and religious tolerance. On this street of 240 families, Muslims and Christians, Serbs and Croats lived easily together, unified by their common identity as Sarajevans. Then the war tore it all apart. As she did in her groundbreaking work about North Korea, Nothing to Envy, award-winning journalist Barbara Demick tells the story of the Bosnian War and the brutal and devastating three-and-a-half-year siege of Sarajevo through the lives of ordinary citizens, who struggle with hunger, poverty, sniper fire, and shellings. Logavina Street paints this misunderstood war and its effects in vivid strokes—at once epic and intimate—revealing the heroism, sorrow, resilience, and uncommon faith of its people. With a new Introduction, final chapter, and Epilogue by the author Review: Logavina Street - I had previously read "Nothing to Envy" which I found very engrossing and informative so I looked forward to reading another of Barbara Demicks books. Describing circumstances and events through interviews of families and individuals who have actually lived through those events, offers the reader greater insight and empathy to others, admiration for those who endured and survived,and a sense of emptiness for those who lost their lives and loved ones so randomly. For me, Barbara Demicks' books are thought provoking and not easily forgotten. This book enlightens and informs us about ordinary people and families who were just living their lives and who were caught in a rapidly changing and dangerous situation. I appreciate that the book took many years to conduct interviews and gather information. Highly recommend this book. Review: a solid historical perspective - The book itself is wise and ripe with good characters that share a deep sense of pride and fear. Having been young during the conflict and witnessing my locals schools adopt Bosnian as a language, the conflict became more mysterious and it's story and history needed to be uncovered. The atrocities are horrendous and little was done to really bring it to justice. This book is a grand first hand view of life in a besieged town. Meeting the people who had nothing and surviving in the ways they did is incredibly humble to read about, but sad that more could and should've been done. If a large scale history is what you're after, his book will offer enough to get started but focuses its energy on bringing the victims to life. I had a problem with some of the word choices that didn't distract the experience but were wrong. Notably is the usage of the term sniper. It's used liberally as if it he best way to describe someone shooting another. It does offer a hint of intimacy, it's not always the best or proper way to describe a machine gunner shooting kids. I will be recommending this book to anyone who wants to know more about the cruelty of war and politics. And also as a way to boast the strength of a unified city. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #436,782 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,137 in Historical Study (Books) #2,827 in European History (Books) #6,537 in World History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 247 Reviews | ## Images ![Logavina Street: Life and Death in a Sarajevo Neighborhood - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OPU5d5sFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Logavina Street *by J***E on January 29, 2014* I had previously read "Nothing to Envy" which I found very engrossing and informative so I looked forward to reading another of Barbara Demicks books.
