Description

War Hotels tells the stories of iconic hotels that played a pivotal role in some of the world's most tumultuous conflicts. From the Europa Hotel in Belfast to the Holiday Inn in Sarajevo, these buildings served as hubs for diplomats, aid workers, and spies, and witnessed firsthand the brutal events that unfolded around them.

Through in-depth interviews with those who experienced it all, this book brings to life the human stories behind these war hotels. By using them as a lens through which to convey the conflicts, the authors provide not only vivid 'micro-histories' but also rich veins of historical narrative and personal recollection.

Building on research from the Al Jazeera documentary series of the same name, War Hotels offers a unique perspective on some of the most significant conflicts of our time. This is a gripping exploration of the human impact of war, told through the lens of these extraordinary hotels.
