The Road to Kosovo A Balkan Diary Author:Greg Campbell Through a fast-paced travelogue of his trips across the Balkan countryside, the author reports on the on-the-ground results of the Dayton peace accords 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 immersed in b... more »rutal combat, Kosovo. Part gonzo tour book, part historical guide, The Road to Kosovo shows us war and the struggle for peace through the eyes of a young journalist forced by circumstances to travel to Kosovo the hard way, by car, after being turned down for a Yugoslavian visa. Though the peace agreement reached in Dayton in 1995 supposedly ensures freedom of movement, it is soon apparent that the threat of death lurks around every twist and turn. As the same international peace brokers who fashioned the Dayton Accord scramble and fret over Kosovo, the author and his readers have the rare opportunity to assess the Accord's impact on the ground. Through poignantly reported escapades throughout Bosnia-in the homes of locals, in their bars, and on the side of the road-an uneasy picture emerges. The region is, clearly, far from peace. Told in a fast-paced, rollicking style that's funny, sad, thoughtful, and at times horrifying, The Road to Kosovo bridges an important gap between what we are told of Bosnia and what truly has and continues to occur there.« less
