Purchase options and add-ons

Ugly, shocking, frightening, war came to Europe once more in March 1999. The world watched in dismay as Yugoslavia's military machine attacked its own citizens in the province of Kosovo. Pictures of refugees fleeing and stories of murder and rape flashed to the top of the news. As had happened so often since the end of the Cold War, ethnic conflict had turned deadly, and the great powers seemed reluctant to get involved.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Clark is terrific. So is his book.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2001

    In this book we see that General Clark is the real force behind the conflict in Kosovo. Clinton rarely appears. I'm not sure Vice President Gore is even mentioned. Cohen and General Shelton are enigmatic. However, Holbrook is terrific. So is Secretary General Javier Solana. I was surprised how much conflict there was between Cohen, Shelton and Clark. It seems to me that the Kosovo conflict would have been much easier if Clinton or Gore had actually bothered to speak to General Clark. Instead, he is left to deal with Cohen and Shelton, who leave him without the resources he needs or even bother to include him in on important meetings.
    I watched this conflict carefully as it unfolded. All right-wing republicans were rooting for America to lose. The Serbs were savvy enemies. Clinton was in the middle of Monica Lewinsky scandal. I don't think Clark will ever receive the credit he deserves. But some of us out here noticed what he did.
    General Clark's most important messages concern the future of warfare. He has many important things to say. This timely and important book is required reading for anyone in the military, and anyone voting on military matters.
    For me it was another great American general writing his story. It is also very well-written and appears to really capture General Clark's voice.

    3.0 out of 5 stars General Clark - "World Citizen"
    Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2003
    Verified Purchase
    I read this book about 12 months ago and found it to be very educational. I came away with a very good working knowledge of NATO and the intricate machinations that the SACEUR must engage in to get any results while working with NATO. The explanation of the conflict in Kosova and the details regarding the 3 groups of native combatants were excellent. I never really understood the entire BOSNIA/KOSOVO/BALKANS conflict; but after reading the book I have a much better grasp of the fundamentals. The book does make a compelling argument against NATO and the United Nations (although that was not the intention of the author). It seems to me that Clark views himself as a "WORLD" citizen first and an "American" citizen second...kind of a scary thought coming from a high ranking American Military Officer!! I personally find that both the UN and NATO are anti-American. Overall however, this book is a decent read and I believe that it provides a glimpse of Wes Clark from his own self promoting, ego-centric perspective. It also should serve as a warning for why the United States must NEVER surrender its power or sovereignty to ANY group..

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Kosovo Campaign
    Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2001
    Verified Purchase
    General (retired) Clark writes an excellent piece on both the events leading up to our entry into Kosovo and the continued decline of the American warrior spirit.
    I served seven months in Kosovo with KFOR 1B on Camp Monteith. General Clark's book answers many of the questions we all had while patrolling the trash strewn streets of Kosovo, "Why the hell are we here?". General Clark gives a great lead up to the Serbian aggression in Kosovo and the Albanian provocations which we once again see in Macedonia. His thoughts are well written and easy to read. Starting with the Dayton peace accords, which he was a key player in, Clark takes us through the twisted negotiations and difficulties of the Balkans. His story shows the inherent difficulties in coalition warfare and how I (and thousands of other soldiers) eventually arrived to put "boots on the ground." The other interesting aspect of this book is to watch how the military was severely restricted, almost to the point of endangering American lives, to protect a weak and unclear political agenda. Not only did General Clark have to fight Serbs, NATO, the air power pundits and the media, he also had to fight against his leadership in SecDef Cohen. A great read and interesting story about NATOs first war. Lets hope we never have to go through an experience like the Kosovo Campaign again. Buy this book. You'll throughly enjoy it! -CPT S

    5.0 out of 5 stars Slow read
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    General Clark has provided valuable insight into conducting modern war. His book deals almost exclusively with the political ramifications of the Kosovo War. He educates the reader into the efforts regquired to communicate with his US military superiors - the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the SecDef, NSC leadership, the president, and others. But that is only half the effort. The second requires communicating continually with NATO leadership plus the military and political leadership of NATO member countries. It is an incredible story.

    I read the book to get a better understanding of what happened in the Kosovo War. It provides one insider perspective. Will read other books to get other views.
