| Chetniks or other Serb forces enter a Bosnian-Herzegovinian or Croatian village, take several of the women of varying ages from their homes, rape them in public view, and depart. The first story, "Soba," is a sympathetic and moving portrait of a young Sarajevan artist and rock singer whose life as he knew it, like those of so many others, went into long-term suspension when the Serbian Chetniks began their siege of the city. Mihailovich and his Chetniks were responsible for saving more than 500 American pilots who were shot down over Yugoslavia by the Axis powers. |
