War Over Kosovo

Rating:
Summary: Not as good as I hoped.
Review: Yes, this book contains wideranging analysis of the 1999 NATO air war against Yugoslavia, but the analysis is surprisingly biased in tone and focus. Explanations of American diplomacy are idealised and too darned patriotic to be much use, and Ms. Albright's gross strategic blunders get under-reported. From start to finish the war was wrong, misguided and dreadfully executed. Some of these points get made in passing, some in point. But all stuff-ups are other people's fault, especially NATO partners, and America hardly gets its propagana-driven reputation tarnished.
