Description
When British journalist, Mick Morrison, finds himself almost by accident in Croatia as the Yugoslav conflicts of 1991-5 break out, he wonders whether he has the courage or resilience to become a successful war reporter. It is the beginning of a four-year journey leading him through the sieges of Dubrovnik and Sarajevo, the discovery of concentration camps in Northern Bosnia, killings in broad daylight in Visegrad, and an ethnic cleansing episode in which he comes close to losing his life.
As the Srebrenica massacre finally looks like leading to an end to the wars, Mick's life is thrown into turmoil first by a personal tragedy and then by the emergence of a dark secret from his family's past that disrupts his passage from rookie war reporter to award-winning journalist and makes him question his deepest convictions.
The Pavelic Trap, is an authentic and epic account of the fall of Yugoslavia
