"The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet system left the USA as the one remaining superpower. Together with its allies the US seems to have assumed the responsibility of policing the world's troublespots. This is a heavy, and very costly, burden - especially as the twentieth century saw more victims of war than any other." "The break-up of Yugoslavia has caused immense suffering for its peoples and posed substantial problems for the rest of Europe. During the wars in Croatia and Bosnia the media suggestion was that the Western world reacted inadequately to reports of ethnic cleansing and multiple fatalities. When the Kosovo conflict erupted in 1998-99, public opinion in the West clamoured for action - any action that would resolve the conflict, and assuage the guilt felt over earlier atrocities." "The Kosovo Crisis is based on the work of specialists in the various countries involved. It offers a series of new and different perspectives on the crisis - focusing upon the major participants in the conflict, from the USA and European nations to NATO and the United Nations." "The Kosovo Crisis explores how a small Balkan region managed to draw into its struggle some of the world's leading powers, only to make a mockery of them. It also discusses the ramifications of this new breed of 'just war' and the consequences for future international peace-keeping efforts."--Jacket
