Bajram Angelo Koljenovic tells the saga of three generations of his family and their influence on Balkan history, as members of the Bosniak Muslim minority in the little Montenegrin mountain village of Gusinje. From the time when his grandfather young Ottoman Army Officer Ebrahim was the Muslim friend who rescued Orthodox Catholic King Nikola, through the life of his father Halim, a pioneer Communist imprisoned under Tito as a Stalinist, through Bajram's youth and service in the Yugoslavian Army, his immigration to America to become a tough-guy for the mob in Las Vegas, to his underworld involvement in the war in Bosnia in 1995, this is a powerful and emotion wrenching story of true life, expressed with the lyric intensity and penetrating vision of novelist James Nathan Post.
