Excelent book!

I've been trying to find some books that portray the Serbian side of the war, and finaly, found this one and I'm glad I did! Taylor does an excelent job of denoucing the NATO and Western anti-Serb propagnda and giving some facts that are long over-due. Though what happend cannot be undone, I do find some 'happyness' in the fact that some people are finaly trying to show the "other side of the coin", it's war, there is always two sides. So, if your thinking of reading a book to get a (first hand) look at the other side, read this book, and thanks and congrats to thoes who did!

Finally some truth......

An excellent first hand account of the events during the bombing. He captures the essence and will of the Serbian people with an unbiased eye towards truth. Very refreshing after the organized demonization of the Serbs for political expedience.

A perfect mixture of facts and personal experience

First, I think it is very important to show what happened while the Kosovo war. The problem is, people soon get bored, because they've already heard a lot of it. But Scott Taylor writes his diary as a mixture of personal experiences and interesting facts, and this is exactly the way to get the people. Second, people often have no idea about the conditions for the journalists to work while the war. I think it is good to tell them about it. And third, nobody knows the one and only truth about such an war. But some authors behave like they are the owners of the truth. Scott writes a diary - and so everybody knows, those are the things he has seen. This is Scott's truth, and this is - I think - the best way to write about war. I'm a journalist too and while the Kosovo war I was in Skopje and after that in Pristina, and I'm a little bit jalous that I didn't write a diary-book. S.G.

NATO's war - the untold story

My view of the conflict in Kosovo and Nato's campaign received a severe blow from this book. The book offers a chilling account of the civilian destruction caused by Nato's campaign, calling into question Nato's claim that this was a "moral war".

Truth about Serbia

This is the first book that shows the other side of the argument. Suffering of civilians and pain that was coused by the NATO bombing. Everybody has read the Albanian side but this guy has the Serbian side. Now after hearing both sides You can deside for Your self what happend in Balkans, Serbia.
