( ) Behind the airport-novel title is an astonishing account of the dénouement to the break-up of Yugoslavia and the Balkan Wars of the late 20th c. Borger reminds us of the atrocities committed in Bosnia and Kosovo and the initial inability and/or unwillingness of Balkan leaders to hold anyone accountable. The international response to attempted genocide and the lingering criminality was halting and largely ineffective, for reasons that Borger ably relates. The International Criminal Tribunal set up at The Hague produced 161 indictments and seems to have stimulated a sense of mission; the ensuing dragnet lasted 14 years. The best parts of The Butcher’s Trail read like a thriller, with spies, crime syndicates and Special Ops in a variety of flavors, mistaken identities, bungled stake-outs and fatal hand-offs. Some of the bad guys flaunted their impunity right up to the moment of their capture, and many concocted justifications borne of defiant, righteous grievance. That Radovan Karadžić hid in plain sight for ten years disguised as a bioenergy healer-scholar still beggars belief. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"The gripping, untold story of The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and how the perpetrators of Balkan war crimes were captured by the most successful manhunt in history. Written with a thrilling narrative pull, The Butcher's Trail chronicles the pursuit and capture of the Balkan war criminals indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague. Borger recounts how Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić--both now on trial in The Hague--were finally tracked down, and describes the intrigue behind the arrest of Slobodan Milošević, the Yugoslav president who became the first head of state to stand before an international tribunal for crimes perpetrated in a time of war. Based on interviews with former special forces soldiers, intelligence officials, and investigators from a dozen countries--most speaking about their involvement for the first time--this book reconstructs a fourteen-year manhunt carried out almost entirely in secret. Indicting the worst war criminals that Europe had known since the Nazi era, the ICTY ultimately accounted for all 161 suspects on its wanted list, a feat never before achieved in political and military history"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
