Collateral Damage: The Balkans after NATO's Air War

Description:

Six months after NATO ended its air war against Yugoslavia, two of Washington’s new breed of hands-on policy analysts, Gary Dempsey and Aaron Lukas, flew to the Balkans to document the "unintended consequences" of NATO’s bombing campaign. Equipped with the latest in mini-digital camera technology, they traveled through the region, filming patrols in Kosovo cities where NATO troops are stationed, inspecting bombed-out industrial complexes in Serbia, and interviewing Macedonians, Romanians and Bulgarians who have suffered because of the war. Collateral Damage: The Balkans after NATO’s Air War is a record of their findings.
