The life of Alija Izetbegovic, first president of independent Bosnia-Herzegovina is recounted. From a pan-Islamist youth who strongly advocated the creation of a Muslim community but rejected the use of violence, to a seasoned politician who strived to avoid war at all costs, Izetbegovic was a main player during the war in the Balkans. The historical timeline of the disintegration of Yugoslavia & the role played by Izetbegovic is presented. A. M. Barral
