A propos de cet article

Hard Cover/Boards. Very Good+/Very Good+. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book has 304 pages with some illustrations. Tiny bit of wear to edge of dj. Very clean and tight! The war in Kosovo in the spring of 1999 introduced many Americans to the man the newspapers have called "the butcher of the Balkans," but few understand the crucial role he has played and continues to play in the most troubled part of Europe.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Who is Slobodan Milosevic? Is he the next Saddam Hussein, the leader of a renegrade nation who will continue to torment the United States for many years? Or is the next Moammar Qaddafi, an international outcast silenced for good by a resolute bombing campaign?
For years the international community has been trying to understand the the subtle nuances of the continuing wars in the former Yugoslavia, for it seems that as one brutal chapter ends another even more ferocious war began. At the heart of all these conflicts one man has been constantly evident. The Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic has so far veiled his own history in secrecy, his personal character masked behind a facade of obstinance and unshakable personal power.
In this new book veteran journalists Dusko Doder and Linda Branson pull away this veil of secrecy to expose the man behind the atrocities of Kosovo. It is a story of intrigue and subterfuge, the account of one man's rise to power through corruption, lies and distortion.
