My War Gone By, I Miss It So

Loyd went to Bosnia to escape heroin and instead found a war that was the only thing capable of making him feel alive. The confessional runs parallel to the reportage — the bodies in the snow, the sieged cities, the atrocities documented with a journalist's eye and an addict's hunger for extreme sensation. A book that is honest about war's appeal in a way that makes that appeal more disturbing, not less.
