About This Item
US: Basic Books, 2000. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. This first-person, on-the-road travel adventure takes us through one of the most dangerous and hate-filled regions on earth-the former republics of Yu goslavia-and into a land still reeling from months of brutal combat. Told i n a fast-paced, rollicking style that's funny, sad, thoughtful, and at time s horrifying, The Road to Kosovo shows us war and the struggle for peace th rough the eyes of a young journalist.Two new concluding chapters, written a fter the author's 1999 visit to Kosovo, provide a rare, on-the-ground asses sment of the impact of the NATO peacekeeping mission and the peace agreemen t with Milosevic. The poignant scenes of death, confusion, and hopelessness that Campbell observes-not from media tents but from the homes of locals, in their bars, and on the side of the road-hearken ominously back to the fi rst days of the peace mission in Bosnia. A vivid, uneasy picture emerges of a region resistant to lasting peace.

He reported a series of articles from Sarajevo just after the Dayton Acc.
