In 1999, scenes of Milosevic's 'ethnic cleansing' play out on television screens all over the world; haunted figures huddled behind barbed wire fences, bodies heaped in ditches. Leaving his wife and son in Adelaide, Craig Jurisevic flies to the Balkans under the auspices of the International Medical Corps. His determination to put his skills to the best possible use leads him closer and closer to the frontline, and deeper into danger.

Blood on My Hands, co-written with award-winning author Robert Hillman, tells a story of terrible suffering, of extraordinary heroism, and of the savagery that lies coiled in the human heart.

Craig Jurisevic was born in Adelaide, South Australia in 1965 and is married with three children. He is a cardiothoracic and trauma surgeon and has worked in many conflict zones. These include Israel and Gaza (1992-93), Albania and Kosovo in (1999), and with the Australian Army in East Timor (2006) and Afghanistan (2008). He is a member of the International Humanitarian Law Committee of the Australian Red Cross. Until recently, he worked as a surgeon in Adelaide and was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Adelaide.
