@Ow...@Steve--a belated thank you for sharing that.<br /><br />@Owen--I agree, the book really doesn't resolve anything. It just sort of peters out.<br /><br />I think the real problem is that Glenny is a reporter--and, in many ways, a good one--who thinks he's a historian and an analyst.

I don't have the feeling that I understand any better than I did in 1991 why the voice of doom warning opaquely about terrible things ahead if the concerns of the Serbs weren't taken into account was so reluctant to hold them accountable for the desperate measures he seems to suggest they were almost forced to take. To give him credit he was insistent in warning us of those bad times when few other people were. But he almost seems to suggest that nationalist Serbs had responsibility for the bad things that happened forced on them against their will. The book doesn't seem to clarify how he arrived at that position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23301331.post-25371486328489314982012-08-08T06:26:55.898-04:002012-08-08T06:26:55.898-04:00Not sure how interested you'll be in this, but...Not sure how interested you'll be in this, but on the off chance, there's a good article up on the London School of Economics website this morning about the EU's policy failures in Bosnia: http://bit.ly/N3pKrZStevenoreply@blogger.com
