He is the author of several books on religion! including Mystical Languages of Unsaying (1994). Klappentext "Sells brings a deep historical perspective to bear on recent events, and he powerfully indicts not only those Balkan leaders who manipulate popular fears and fanaticism to further their expansionist aims, but also those Western politicians and diplomats who helped obscure the truth about the campaign by Serb and Croat religious nationalists to destroy the uniquely rich culture of Bosnia."—William Finnegan, staff reporter for The New Yorker and author of A Complicated War Zusammenfassung The atrocities in Bosnia-Herzegovina have stunned people throughout the world. Drawing on historical documents, unpublished United Nations reports, articles from Serbian and Bosnian media, personal contacts in the region, and Internet postings, this title reveals the central role played by religious mythology in the Bosnian tragedy.
