Description ▲
This is a unique and until now untold story about the horrors of the war that took place in Croatia in the 1990s. For the reader, it provokes many thoughts and questions and confirms the biblical saying “With God, all things are possible”. Vilim Karlovic started writing this book in a Zagreb jail. He was arrested because he had killed a friend (to whom he was his best man) in Zagreb in 2008. He was a loan shark who had been blackmailing Karlovic and even threatening to kill his children. In January 2010, the first instance court convicted him with a prison sentence of 4 and half years. He was released until the Croatian Supreme Court made its own decision. At the end of May 2012, the Supreme Court reached its verdict of 6 years in prison. On the same day, he was taken away and that is where he remains now. He wrote about his personal story and the terrors he was faced with as a Croatian soldier present in Vukovar in 1991. He describes the suffering he lived through as a prisoner of war after the greatest Croatian battles; the battle for Vukovar. He was saved from the hands of murderers and criminals not once, but multiple times. In particular, he described the events that took place in Ovcara and Velepromet and how he survived from one massacre to the next. At the end of May 2012, Karlovic received his final conviction of 6 years in prison and was immediately taken away where he remains to this day.
