| Description | This collection of official, unclassified documents begins with the full text of Slovodan Milosevic's speech at Kosovo Polje in April 1987, which marked the beginning of the junior Communist official's acsension to power on the ticket of Serbian nationalism. The volume's eleven chapters then trace growing tensions in the province over the ensuing decade, as well as the concurrent increase in international concern. Particular attention is given to the immediate prelude to the conflict and the conflict itself. More specifically, the volume details the international community's efforts to defuse the escalating violence in Kosovo from 1998 through 1999, beginning with economic sanctions and continuing through the October threat of NATO airstrikes, the January Racak massacre, and the Rambouillet negotiations. The volume then follows in detail the evolution of the diplomatic and U.S. domestic environment during NATO's 1999 air campaign, and the June 1999 deployment of KFOR. Each chapter is prefaced with an essay and chronology summarizing that chapter's events. The body of each chapter is comprised of key agreements, speeches and statements of the major nation-states and international organizations involved in the Balkans. In an aoppendix the editors provide a complete list of Internet and other sources for the documents, facilitating further research. |
