vbo,
I just want to make sure you have seen this:

Monthly Review

The Dismantling of Yugoslavia: A Study in Inhumanitarian Intervention (and a Western Liberal-Left Intellectual and Moral Collapse)
Edward S. Herman and David Peterson

Have not read the whole thing yet, but it makes a lot of good points and deconstructs the official story. I think it has been discussed in an open thread or Salon here and an open thread at MoA, but I am too lazy to look it up.

Can you diarise this please ? Or at least email me the book title. Moving to Bulgaria as I'm doing, I'm finding that the ex-Yugoslavian situation is very "live" in the realpolitik of Bulgaria. It impacts everything and my broad-brush understanding of what happened simply isn't up to examining the nuances I'm coming across

I read it in portions, so I am not done yet. It brings back lots of memories of how I understood things back then so I have to digest it in portions.

But it is online, so just follow the link and start reading. Lots of good material for a Lazy Quote Diary there for whoever finishes it first.
