The Kosova Liberation Army (KJLA) was
the first successful insurgent movement
in Europe since the Second World War. In
the struggle against Milosevic's Serbia it
developed from a tiny group in the Swiss
political underground in the 1980s to an
18,000 strong military force that was allied
with NATO between 1997 and 1999.
In this ground-breaking and innovative
history, James Pettifer traces the
development of the force using previously
unknown documents from Russian,
American, Serbian, Swiss archives,
numerous interviews with participants and
observers and eye witness material. The
KJLA drew on deep historical traditions of
resistance to Serbian rule in Kosova, but in
other respects was highly innovative and
was the first postmodern insurgency for
which the image it carried in the media was
almost as important as its achievements in
the campaign.
The book focuses in particular depth
on the work of the KLA leaders in secret
organisations prior to the war, and how
Mil osevic misunderstood the nature of the
opponent he was facing. This also applied
to many NATO nations, who often saw the
unique Kosova struggle as an extension of
the earlier Bosnian and Croatian conflicts.
The author draws on years of study of the
region and personal knowledge of many
of the KLA and other leaders involved
to write w hat w ill bec ome the standard
account of the origins of the conflict. |
