Klappentext:The Death of Yugoslavia, which accompanied the highly acclaimed BBC television series of the same name, was the first account to go behind the public face of battle and into the closed worlds of the key players in the war. In this updated edition, which takes the story through the dayton Agreement, the authors consider the prospects of peace for the former Yugoslavia.
"The standard reference work on the internal development of the crisis since 1986. Silber and Littles's dissection of the conspiracy concocted by the leaderships of Slovenia and Seriba to throttle the YugoslavFederation is a masterpiece of contemporary political writing". Misha Glenny in the London Review of Books
Über die Autorin / über den Autor:Laura Silber is the Balkan Correspondent for the Financial Times and has been based in the region for nine years. Widely acknowledged among journalists, diplomats and scholars as one of the English-speaking world's leading interpreters of the causes and progress of the Yugoslav wars, her knowledge of the politics of the former Yugoslavia is unequalled among foreign journalists. She was chief consultant for the acclaimed six-part documentary series of the same name.
Allan Little has been a correspondent with BBC radio and television news since 1988 and has covered the wars in the former Yugoslavia since the fighting erupted in the summer of 1991. He has reported from most theatres of conflict in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina and has won widespread praise for his compassionate accounts of the war, and those caught up in it. His consistently perceptive reporting has laid bare the dynamics both of the war itself and of the failure of international efforts to end it.
