In Harm's Way: Reflections of a War-Zone Thug (1996) By Martin Bell
 
Bell is a familiar face on British television, usually reporting courageously from war zones - Bosnia in particular. He had long years of war coverage in Vietnam, Angola, etc. before that but the Bosnian atrocities and racial hatred were something else, and they obviously have shaken him deeply. Another grim assignment he was given was to report on the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. But it is Bosnia which still obsesses him: "I have believed from the start that this is a crisis which will end in two ways: either the stability of the rest of Europe will spread to the Balkans, or the instability of the Balkans will spread to the rest of Europe. It can still go either way."
 
Martin Bell writes about the human misery and political cynicism that makes up the war in Bosnia. A veteran of ten earlier wars nothing has moved or angered him more than this war and the political failure of the UN and the governments of the West to respond to it. He writes about military inefficiency, political hypocrisy and indifference, the suffering of Serbs, Muslims and Croats alike and the uneasy relationship between "news", and those who convey it.
