More about the book
The Fall of Yugoslavia tells the whole, true story of the Balkan Crisis & the ensuing war for those around the world who have watched the battle unfold with a mixture of horror, dread & confusion. When Croatia & Slovenia declared their independence in 6/91, peaceful neighbors of four decades took up arms against each other once again & a savage war flared in the Balkans. The underlying causes go back to business left unfinished by both the 2nd & 1st World Wars. In this acclaimed book, now revised & updated with a new chapter on the Dayton Accords & the subsequent U.S. involvement, Misha Glenny offers a sobering eyewitness chronicle of the events that rekindled the violent conflict, a lucid & impartial analysis of the politics behind them, & incisive portraits of the main personalities involved. Above all, he shows us the human realities behind the headlines & puts in its true, historical context one of the most ferocious civil wars of our time.
