Of 1941, Simic writes, “It deserves attention because it explains, perhaps better than any book I know of, how different ethnic groups, who lived side by side in peace for centuries, were made to turn against one another and become each other’s executioners in that unhappy country.” For more information, visit the Barnes & Noble website.
