- For the Love of Books: A Sarajevo Story - in pictures
Resource Type: Photo/Image/Poster Published: 2012 During the Bosnian war, a group of men and women risked their lives to rescue thousands of irreplaceable Islamic manuscripts -- and preserve a nation's history. Amid bullets and bombs, this handful of passionate book-lovers safeguarded more than 10,000 unique, hand-written antique books and documents -- the most important texts held by Sarajevo's Gazi Husrav Beg Library, founded in 1537. As the 20th anniversary of the start of the siege of Sarajevo approaches, a documentary airing tonight on BBC4 tells the story of this extraordinary bid to protect a nation's history.

- Golden Silences in the Propaganda System
Resource Type: Article Published: 2015 Propaganda shapes the flow of information in many different ways, including, obviously, the choice of the news fit to print, its placement, and the selection of authorities to make those facts credible.

- War is Over - Now Serbs and Bosniaks Fight to Win Control of a Brutal History
Resource Type: Article Published: 2014 Serb nationalists are striving to suppress reminders of atrocities committed in the name of separatism, mostly against the country's Muslims (known as Bosniaks) and to construct an alternative history in which Serbs were the principal victims. Many Bosniaks and outside observers fear that this refusal to come to terms with the past means there are few guarantees that such acts will not be repeated.
