For four centuries, Logavina Street was a quiet residential road in a cosmopolitan city, home to Muslims & Christians, Serbs & Croats. Then the war tore the street apart. In this extraordinary eyewitness account, Demick weaves together the stories of ten families from Logavina Street. For three & a half years, they were often without heat, water, food or electricity. They had to evade daily sniper fire & witnessed the deaths of friends, neighbours & family.
