Publisher's Synopsis
Who is Slobodan Milosevic? Is he the next Saddam Hussein, the leader of a renegrade nation who will continue to torment the United States for many years? Or is the next Moammar Qaddafi, an international outcast silenced for good by a resolute bombing campaign?
For years the international community has been trying to understand the the subtle nuances of the continuing wars in the former Yugoslavia, for it seems that as one brutal chapter ends another even more ferocious war began. At the heart of all these conflicts one man has been constantly evident. The Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic has so far veiled his own history in secrecy, his personal character masked behind a facade of obstinance and unshakable personal power.
In this new book veteran journalists Dusko Doder and Linda Branson pull away this veil of secrecy to expose the man behind the atrocities of Kosovo. It is a story of intrigue and subterfuge, the account of one man's rise to power through corruption, lies and distortion.
