The Road To Kosovo: A Balkan Diary

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 Yugoslavia--and into a land still reeling from months of brutal combat. Told in a fast-paced, rollicking style that's funny, sad, thoughtful, and at times horrifying, "The Road to Kosovo" shows us war and the struggle for peace through the eyes of a young journalist.Two new concluding chapters, written after the author's 1999 visit to Kosovo, provide a rare, on-the-ground assessment of the impact of the NATO peacekeeping mission and the peace agreement 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 first days of the peace mission in Bosnia. A vivid, uneasy picture emerges of a region resistant to lasting peace.
