In the novel, Galloway, has shown many accurate facts in this book that actually occurred. This book is about the war in Sarajevo which took place from March of 1992 to November of 1995. This war was where his book took place and the idea of this novel is very unique because it is a more modern war and it is something that people can say they remember hearing about it on television or remember reading an article in the paper or seeing a short segment on TV. For this novel, Galloway has taken the different horrific events that occurred over a three year period and condensed what happened into a one month period about what is happening in his story. The conflicts, casualties and causes are all based on true events that happened in the war. Despite the liberties of this books timeline, Galloway stated “the spirit of the book is true”.
