UNFINEST HOUR: Britain and the Destruction of Bosnia
Brendan Simms, Allen Lane

As Milosevic comes to trial for war crimes, Brendan Simms focuses again on the war in Bosnia and on the world’s response to it.  He asks whether the international community could have averted this tragedy, or at least have brought the Bosnian war to a speedier conclusion. He also questions whether the British government bears responsibility for policies that led to the prolonging of the bloodiest European conflict since the Second World War.
