IFOR on IFOR is a unique account of the NATO-led mission in Bosnia. Using specially commissioned photographs and interviews, IFOR on IFOR looks at the work, equipment and opinions of the people behind the force. IFOR was set up as a result of the Dayton Accords - the agreement that finally established peace in Bosnia. One of the main architects of this people agreement was Richard Holbrooke, formerly United States Assistant Secretary for European and Canadian Affairs - and writer of the Foreword to IFOR on IFOR. In the pages of IFOR on IFOR you can meet a French Chef, the Russian Commander, British 'squaddies', a Scandinavian medic and an American General - and many more. Their experiences, and opinions, make compulsive reading and IFOR on IFOR will be of particular interest to all those who want a visual and written record of the IFOR mission in Bosnia.
