ABOUT
THE BOOK

One afternoon- in a certain European village, in the middle of a civil war- one man digs while another man watches over him.
Gradually they begin to talk.
As the snow falls and truckloads of villagers are corralled in the next field, we discover why the two men are there – not just who they are and how specific, sinister events in their country have led them to be separated by a deepening grave, but why the history of civilization is inseparable from the history of mass violence.
