The publishing house "Dobra knjiga" from Sarajevo published the book "Wounded and Awake". From a camp inmate to a psychotherapist". The authors are Esad Boskailo, a doctor from Pocitelje, and Julija Lieblich, an assistant professor at Loyola University Chicago, a journalist who has written for the Washington Post, Time, Life and others.
The book talks about the transformation of a community, which until the beginning of the 1990s was dominated by inter-ethnic cooperation, into a conflict society. Boskailo briefly describes his life as a doctor in Pocitelje, but also depicts the atmosphere that reigned in that town during the 1980s: going out to cafes, evening walks, everyday and family life. Boskail's godfather was a Serb, his best friend married a Croatian woman, two of his professors (one Muslim, the other Catholic) were two best friends who were together every day, hanging out, playing cards or drinking. And it all collapsed in the early 1990s. Boskailo describes how he was arrested at the beginning of the war, then spent years in HVO camps in Capljina, Heliodrom, Dretelje and Ljubusko. This is the story of those fractures, the breaking of old friendships: everyone knew Boskail, but no one saved him from being sent to a camp. Professor Hivza's disappointment in his best friend Professor Dervenica is paradigmatic of many other disappointments that people experienced during the 1990s.
