Vukovar: Both Sides Now is co-authored by Linda Garrett and Sandra Maric. Linda Garrett is from the United States, a writer with a background in human rights and foreign policy. She is the author of "Escuadrones de la Muerte en El Salvador" and "El Salvador: Expectations of Change, Challenges of Governance" published by the Center for Democracy in the Americas where she works as a consultant. Sandra Maric is Croatian. She has a Masters Degree in Sociology from the University of Zagreb and is a sociologist and teacher who had the opportunity to work in the first school opened in Vukovar after integration, teaching Sociology, Psychology and Ethics from 1999-2004. The authors interviewed dozens of residents: Serb, Croat and other minorities, young and old, workers and professionals, women and men, former fighters and refugees, and religious and political leaders. Their stories are presented in Vukovar: Both Sides Now in their own words, without judgement. The authors believe that in war everyone - with the exception of the leaders who incite violence and the direct perpetrators of war crimes - is a victim. And everyone has a story to tell.
