Macedonia: Warlords and Rebels in the Balkans

John Phillips, "Macedonia: Warlords and Rebels in the Balkans"
Publisher: I.B.Tauris; 1st Edition edition | ISBN 10: 186064841X | 2004 | PDF | 224 pages | 2 MB

A bloody rebellion by Albanian guerrillas demanding equal rights in Macedonia has killed and wounded thousands of people and led to fears that the crisis will embroil Kosovo, Albania, Bulgaria and Greece. International intervention brought an uneasy halt to the blood-letting last summer, but hardline Macedonian nationalists have blocked full implementation of the peace agreement and there are now fears that the National Liberation Army will renew its campaign, leading to more ethnic cleansing in the heart of Europe. Phillips covers the front line fighting as well as the behind-the-scenes diplomacy in Skopje and shows just how damaging the present conflict is for any hope of a lasting Balkan peace.
