Arturo Pérez-Reverte. Comanche Territory

Arturo Pérez-Reverte witnessed many wars of the last quarter of the last century. As one of the many war correspondents, he watched each of them from a somewhat detached position, trying to keep the distance of an unbiased observer. But he always remained on the side of, so to speak, the third party to the war — the “tribe of special correspondents” who also risked their lives and lost their colleagues. This novel is a kind of author’s reflection on the first years of the Bosnian war (1992–1995). It is also an autobiographical text that synthesises over twenty years of A. Pérez-Reverte’s experience as a war reporter; it contains many stories of real people — close friends and acquaintances of the author who told about the war in different languages to millions of readers and viewers around the world. Stories of desperate people who dared to work in the middle of other people’s wars.
