Slobodan Milosevic and the Destruction of YugoslaviaIn Slobodan Milosevic and the Destruction of Yugoslavia former US foreign service officer Louis Sell fills a gap in the literature on the Yugoslav conflicts by covering both the domestic Yugoslav side of the collapse and the history and consequences of international interventions in the wars in Slovenia and Croatia in 1991, Bosnia in 1992-1995, and Kosovo from 1998-1999. Sell focuses on the life and career of Slobodan Milosevic from the perspective of both a diplomatic insider intimately familiar with the region and a scholar who has researched all of the available English and Serbo-Croatian sources. Sell spent much of his diplomatic career in Eastern Europe and Russia, including eight years in Yugoslavia between 1974 and 2000, and witnessed first-hand the events that contributed to the dissolution and ultimate destruction of Yugoslavia. |
