The book by the popular Bosnian writer Muharem Bazdul tells the story of the iconic U2 concert that took place on 23 September 1997 at the Sarajevo stadium and gathered 45,000 people. The city was still in ruins after a several-year siege, and the country was still divided after a terrible civil war. This concert became a symbol of Bosnia's return to normal, peaceful life. It was the first time that Orthodox, Catholics and Muslims, who until recently had been participants and victims of a fratricidal war, went to see U2 together. That night, music united them, art healed their wounds, it was a celebration of the end of the war, Bono shouted: "Viva Sarajevo! Fuck the past, kiss the future!" International news agencies wrote: "In those two magical hours, U2 did what the military, politicians and diplomats had failed to do: they united Bosnia." Bazdul's book combines elements of non-fiction with an emotional author's view of the concert, which Bono himself considers the most important in U2's history.
