Between April 1992 and December 1995, more than 100,000 people were
killed in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The terrible
atrocities committed in this period have been much discussed and
studied and many prosecuted as acts of genocide, war crimes or
crimes against humanity. But so far, the academic scholarship has
focused on the role of the military in these events. This has come
at the expense of considering the police’s role, which Nielsen
here demonstrates as crucial. Nielsen traces the origins of the war
in Bosnia and Herzegovina to the police and associated paramilitary
groups. Nielsen makes this ground-breaking case by drawing on a
host of confidential archival sources, academic research and
practical experience as a widely cited expert witness in the most
notorious of the war crimes tribunals. His innovative new history
sheds light on wider issues regarding the dissolution of
Yugoslavia, the Balkan wars and the region today.
