Conversations with Milosevic by Ivor Roberts

Conversations with Milosevic by Ivor Roberts

Offers a firsthand portrayal of the so-called Butcher of the Balkans, the Serbian president whose ambitions sparked the Bosnian conflict. At its heart the book is a portrait of an autocrat who rode the tiger of nationalism to serve his own ends and to promote those who furthered his agenda.

This is a Valuable book, and captures very well the bizarre, lawless atmosphere of Milosevic's and the Serb Arkan's paramilitary city" - James Pettifer, Times Literary Supplement
