Sarajevo’s Holiday Inn on the Frontline of Politics and War charts
the rich history of the city’s famous Holiday Inn hotel. Describing
in detail the tumultuous events that took place within its walls and
in its immediate environs, this book explores the opening of the
building in advance of the 1984 Winter Olympics through the early
1990s when the hotel was utilized by political elites through to the
siege of Sarajevo, when the hotel became the main base for foreign
correspondents. Kenneth Morrison draws upon a plethora of primary and
secondary sources, and includes extensive interviews with many
participants in the drama that was played out within the confines of
the hotel, contextualizing the case of the Holiday Inn by analyzing
how hotels are utilized in times of conflict.
