"In this book the author bridges the gap between the common perception of the modern Yugoslav conflict as portrayed in the media and the actual grim reality with which he was dealing as a European Monitor on the ground. Drawing on original source material from both the United Nations (UN) and the European Community Monitor Mission (ECMM), he critically re-examines the programme of violence which erupted in 1991 and eventually culminated in 1995 in the vicious dismemberment of a sovereign federal republic with a seat at the United Nations General Assembly
