This book is an important reanalysis of the propaganda and self-serving deceptions that were used by NATO governments and major human rights organizations during the Yugoslav conflicts., A revealing and sharply argued analysis of Western intervention in the Balkan wars of the 1990s. . . . Prodigiously researched, Bombs for Peace is graced with the elegant prose style typical of the author, and with his long-held passion for justice. It is so beautifully written that it is hard to put down, and constitutes a damning expos of Western policy., This book is an important re-analysis of the propaganda and self-serving deceptions that were used by NATO governments and major human rights organizations during the Yugoslav conflicts., This book is an important re-analysis of the propaganda and self-serving deceptions that were used by NATO governments and major human rights organizations during the Yugoslav conflicts, in order to justify waging an aggressive war against Serbia that was against the foundational principles of the UN Charter and even of NATO's own charter. The dominant NATO member states gained geopolitical and economic advantages through mounting an aggressive war, while the human rights organizations increased greatly their incomes, access to resources from NATO governments, and the kind of power to provoke war that, inevitably, corrupts those who claim to be following humanitarian ideals. The work is based on substantial research, much of it drawing on the very sources that the protagonists of "humanitarian war" had used to justify their turn to aggression, and showing the falseness, inconsistency and even duplicity of the latters' arguments. At the same time, the book is in no sense an apology for the actions of the Serbian regime under Slobodan Milosevic, making it clear that the charge that to oppose NATO was to support Slobo was as false as the rest of the propaganda behind aggression disguised as humanitarianism. As the NATO actions against Libya show, the precedents created in the interventions in Yugoslavia are still dangerous, not only to regional stability but to the very people who supposedly are to benefit from being subjected to humanitarian warfare.

Synopsis
In the late 1990s NATO dropped bombs and supported armed insurgencies in Yugoslavia while insisting that its motives were purely humanitarian and that its only goal was peace. However, George Szamuely argues that NATO interventions actually prolonged conflicts, heightened enmity, increased casualties, and fueled demands for more interventions. Eschewing the one-sided approach adopted by previous works on the Yugoslavian crisis, Szamuely offers a broad overview of the conflict, its role in the rise of NATO's authority, and its influence on Western policy on the Balkans. His timely, judicious, and accessible study sheds new light on the roots of the contemporary doctrine of humanitarian intervention., This illuminating study describes the genesis of the contemporary doctrine of humanitarian intervention. It is the first comprehensive analysis of Western policy towards the Balkans from the late 1980s on. Previous works have often taken partisan approaches focusing on isolated events rather than the multifaceted conflict of which such events were a part. Though scholarly, the book will also appeal to a wider audience interested in world affairs., A ciritical overview of the policies of NATO governments and major human rights organizations during the Yugoslav conflict., This book is an important re-analysis of the propaganda and self-serving deceptions that were used by NATO governments and major human rights organizations during the Yugoslav conflicts.
