About the Author
Isak Gasi is a former world-class canoeist who represented Yugoslavia internationally for more than a decade. His Bosnian War experiences propelled him into a prominent and ongoing role as a witness for the prosecution at The Hague tribunal. He has lived in the United States for the past sixteen years, working in a technical field. A devoted husband and father, he still canoes regularly, finding deep satisfaction in the interplay between a boat, a paddle, and the Columbia River's eternal flow.
Shaun Koos is a retired hospital executive who grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After graduating magna cum laude from Carleton College, he earned a graduate degree from the University of Washington. He rowed in UW's graduate program, feeling some connection to the school's storied history and the boys in its 1936 boat. Shaun is a former member of the US canoe and kayak team, and the former Secretary of USA Canoe/Kayak. It was through canoeing that he met Isak Gasi. His primary interests as a writer are in historical biography and in exploring the motivations, mindsets, and actions of individuals who confront and surmount great challenges.
Reviews

". . .Important, powerful; a cautionary tale about nationalism."
--Kirkus Reviews

". . .this book richly deserves to be read widely by both the general public and by those readers particularly interested in the collapse of Yugoslavia and the ensuing wars of the 1990s."
--Christian Axebo Nielsen, Associate Professor, University of Aarhus in Denmark, specializing in Eastern European studies

"Eyewitness is captivating for a number of reasons. The story is well-told. It's history up close and personal. . .What's provocative and riveting, however, is the horrific struggle between good and evil that transcends Luka, Bosnia, and Yugoslavia and mirrors what's inside us all."
--June Darling, Ph.D., author of Mind-Bending Chats with Great Thinkers and Becoming Artists of Life.
