title: Fragments of War
author:  Mishka Gora 
description: "Based on the author's experiences as a humanitarian worker ... written in a smooth and intelligent manner.... Perhaps Mishka Gora's novel will be an inspiration for Croatian directors to finally make a good feature film about the aggression against Croatia which will be understood by all the world." Jadranka Juresko-Kero, <i>Vecernji List</i><br /><br />"Mishka Gora's abundant use of dialogue achieves verisimilitude... she possesses the essential professional storytelling skill which arouses the senses to feel and see the reality that once was... an amazingly rich, emotionally detailed portrait of human nature." Ina Vukic, <i>Croatia, the War, and the Future</i>
