It is Salim's time as a UN Peace Keeping mission commander in Bihac during the Bosnia Herzegovina conflict that forms the heart of this book. Salim discusses night infiltration flights, trade with dead bodies, and the chilling proximity of Bihac to becoming another Srebrenica massacre. With honesty and authenticity, he recounts the challenges he faced in leading soldiers who were unprepared for the harsh European winter and how they were treated as unequals for being from a third world country. Despite such adversity, the soldiers remain defiant and display resilience for duty, their mission and their country. Salim has interview with Dean Murphy published in LA Times in 1995 and interviews on BBC TV, Sky TV and on Peter Jennings Show broadcasted in the USA on ABC TV on 25 Apr 1995.
