Natasha`s Story is a 1994 book by war correspondent Michael Nicholson and is based on his work for the British news broadcaster, ITN.

The film Welcome to Sarajevo is based on it.

Published to coincide with the release of the Miramax Film, the heart-breaking true account of how one reporter broke the rules of journalistic detachment & saved a Yugoslavian orphan from approaching Serbs. Michael Nicholson`s nightly reports from Bosnia alerted Britain & the world to the horrors of the war in the former Yugoslavia. But when the ITN war correspondent found 200 orphan children living unprotected on the outskirts of Sarajevo, in the path of the approaching Serbs, he could no longer watch & do nothing. Fired by anger & despair, he broke the cardinal rule of journalistic detachment. He forged the name of one of the children on his own passport & smuggled her back to Britain to live with his family. For this 9-year-old girl it was the start of an exciting, sometimes bewildering, new life, a 1000 miles away from the suffering & destruction of her homeland. Now, in this book, Michael Nicholson tells the full story of her ordeal.

This is the heartwarming story of ITN reporter, Michael Nicholson`s rescue of Natasha, a nine-year-old orphan from war-torn Sarajevo. When Michael discovered 200 children in an isolated orphanage on the outskirts of Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia, he rapidly developed a bond with Natasha and, following an impulse, he smuggled her out of Bosnia by putting her name onto his passport. Natasha now lives with Michael and his family.
