My Family is part of the Kapel, Kosnick Family, so I would call it "My Family" as my Aunt Betty Burgess and my Grandma Anne Olave used to be Kapel's.

In this unique and comprhensive book on the recent NATO intervention in Kosovo, William Buckley provides insight into one of the most violent and convulted conflicts of the Post-Cold War era. Buckley, as editor and contributing essayist, brings together over 67 pieces from world figures such as Slobodan Milosevic, Kofi Annan and Henry Kissinger to real life accounts from Kosovar Albanian refugees, a doctor from Medicins Sans Frontieres and Belgrade city dwellers who lived with the NATO bombing campaign to name a few. Without the usual dry theories about international conflicts and intervention, this book underscores the human experience in the Balkans as a whole and in Kosovo particularly. Indeed, the origins of ethnic conflict and religous differences in the region are seen explicitly in essays by soldiers, politicians and villagers alike. The nature of U.S. and NATO intervention is debated vigorously as well, dispelling many notions that Americans may hold about our involvment in the Kosovo crisis. Every viepoint is represented--some typical, some disturbing--but all a testament to the myriad of perceptions and an insight into the roles that history, nationalism, ethnicity and religion can play in modern conflict.

If you think you know all there is to know about Sarajevo from news reports and critical analyses, read this book. It will change your mind. The letters can be heartbreaking, inspiring, utterly depressing, hopeful...even all at the same time. The accounts from children especially took my breath away. The only thing lacking in this book is an epilogue. You feel so close to the letter writers, the urge to know whether they've survived and, if so, how, is overwhelming.

This book will give a reader an excellent idea what the international media did to Yugoslavia with its lies. Must read for anyone who wants to know the TRUTH. The truth will set you free and thats what this bok does.
Also my views and opinions on double standards of Yugoslavian war coverage have been pubslished 6 times locally and internationally so I happen to know a bit ab out the subject.
Also go rent or buy here on Amazon.com movie called "No Mans Land" this too will give you an idea about the people, media and UN coverage of war in Yugoslavia.

I am from Mostar and i know how is to be in war.

it is amazing that an italian journalist can have such a knowledge of the balkans. his way of noticing and understanding these complicated peoples (i belong to them) and their sometimes appearingly illogical behaviour is even more amazing. i'm definitely rumiz's fan !

A book about MOntenegro's complex history for Westerners written by a westerner! The work is thouroughly illustrated and includes answers to all those questions that a foreign reader might ask of himself.

It may not have been the way it is told here, either (I hope not for the author's sake, since he presents himself as the lead character). But this is a wonderful alternative to the narcissistic-heroic type of historical fiction for which a far less clever writer with the same last name as Bora Cosic has become very well known. The setting is Belgrade during and just after World War II, with themes of identity, revolution, ambition, loyalty and love treated by a child just naive enough to be smarter than the wise folks around him, with help from the motley characters in his family and neighborhood. I know the wise-naive child has become an East European cliche, but sometimes it is done very well.

An excellent monograph by an outstanding scholar
