Synopsis

The June 1999 enty of NATO troops was hailed as the "Liberation of Kosovo" by the Western media -- most of whom promptly packed up and headed home from the Balkans.

The declaration of victory was naive and premature given the Alliance's stated objectives of deposing Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and creating a safe, multi-ethnic environment in Kosovo.

Rather than ending the civil strife, NATO's intervention set in motion a series of events which would have violent repercussions throughout Serbia, Kosovo and Macedonia over the next two years. This book, consisting primarily of Scott Taylor's first-hand observations and interviews with the people and players, is a very personal account of war and its aftermath in Serbia and Macedonia.
