Soon to be a major motion picture starring Tom Hardy. An extraordinary memoir of military conflict and personal battle. The first book, both 'beautiful and disturbing' (Wall Street Journal), from a young man who escaped to Bosnia in search of a vocation and excitement and later went on to become an award-winning war correspondent. Ex-infantry officer Anthony Loyd arrived in Bosnia hoping to become a war correspondent. He left behind a damaged, distinguished military family and swapped one kind of addiction for another; drink and drugs for the adrenaline of combat. In the Balkans he became truly embedded - both appalled and involved - by the war's cruel chaos. In the midst of the daily life-and-death struggle among the Serbs, Croatians and Bosnian Muslims he was inspired by the extraordinary human fortitude he discovered. But returning home, empty and craving adrenaline, he would face his own frailties until he could bear it no longer. My War Gone By, I Miss It So is a uniquely powerful piece of writing, unparalleled in the genre. A compassionate, visceral record of conflict; a brutally honest account of war's exhilarations and more personal battlegrounds.

New York. 2000. Atlantic Monthly Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0871137690. 321 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph by Gilles Peress/Magnum. keywords: Autobiography War Bosnia England Addiction Drugs Journalism. FROM THE PUBLISHER-An extraordinary, personal look at modern war by a young correspondent who saw its horrors firsthand, MY WAR GONE BY, I MISS IT SO is already being compared to the classics of war literature. Born into a distinguished family steeped in military tradition, from his youth Anthony Loyd longed to experience the fury of war from the front lines. Driven by suicidal despair and drug dependence, the former soldier left his native England at the age of twenty-six to cover the bloodiest conflict that Europe had seen since the Second World War-the war in Bosnia. Nothing can prepare you for the account of war that Loyd gives. His harrowing stories from the battlefields show humanity at its worst and best, witnessed through the grim tragedies played out daily in the city, streets, and mountain villages of Bosnia and Chechnya. Profoundly shocking, violent, poetic, and ultimately redemptive, MY WAR GONE BY, I MISS IT SO is an uncompromising look at the terrifying brutality of war. It is a breathtaking, soul-shattering book, an intense and moving piece of reportage that you won't put down and will never be able to forget. inventory #27581.
