A Problem From Hell: America and the Age of Genocide (103 page)

And my parents, Vera Delaney and Edmund Bourke: When their twenty-three-year-old daughter told them she wanted to go and cover a war where innocent people were dying, they hoped it was a phase that would soon pass. When it didn't, they reluctantly joined the charge, buying her an inaugural lap-top, neatly storing away a mound of Bosnia clips, and poring over every last word of every last draft of this book. Apart from being my parents, my teachers, and my closest friends, they are quite simply the two most extraordinary individuals I have ever met.
