The 1999 conflict in Kosovo is seen as being as significant for international affairs as the pulling down of the Berlin Wall, because of the centrality of human rights in the build-up, conduct and aftermath of the war. This volume is an attempt to explore this human rights tragedy.

Ouch,
By Kosovar (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Kosovo Tragedy: The Human Rights Dimensions (Cold War History) (Paperback)
I don't find it surprising at all why am I the first person to review this book because it is not worth doing that nonetheless to read this book to the end when there's so many books about the subject.
It is confusing as hell. At one moment this Ken Booth protects Milosevic from the genocides he had committed to Bosnians,Croatians and Kosovar Albanians then at the next moment he describes vividly all the sufferings created by Milosevic which added together make nothing but Genocide. If you're trying to find a nice and accurate book about Kosovo chose something like "Waging modern war" by Wesley Clark because this one is definitely not about Kosovo!!! Most of the time I felt like the writer only used the Kosovo title when he published this book because then when it was published Kosovo was a hot topic! He goes as far as what Australians did to Aborigins and British to Maoris. Ken Booth you're smart - you've made it very obvious!!! But one more thing "Easier said then experienced" and if I am not wrong you are Welsh not a Kosovar to know so well about Kosova but thanks for your time. I hope you got paid well for that.
