Description

Richard Holbrooke's gripping account of his mission to end the Yugoslav war. In 1995, President Clinton sent Holbrooke to Bosnia as America's chief negotiator, taking a gamble that would redefine his presidency. The odds were against it, but Holbrooke believed in using a complex blend of American leadership, diplomacy, and force to bring peace to the Balkans. The book reveals new details of how America made this historic decision, including the tragic loss of three of Holbrooke's team members during their first attempt to reach Sarajevo. With sharp portraits of key actors from Washington to the Balkans, Holbrooke recounts his tireless efforts to stop the killing and forge a peace agreement. This book is an inside account of Holbrooke's heroic efforts, offering a unique perspective on one of the most pivotal moments in American foreign policy.
