The early 1990s saw Europe's first conflict for almost 40 years
when bitter fighting broke out in the former Yugoslav republic.
Colonel Colm Doyle of the Irish Army found himself in the midst of
this appalling civil war when in October 1991 he became first a
European Community Monitor and almost immediately Head of the
Monitor Mission in besieged Sarajevo. After six months he was
appointed Personal Representative to Lord Carrington, Chairman of
the Peace Conference on Yugoslavia. In this overdue memoir, he
describes his role mediating, negotiating and persuading political
and military leaders of all sides to halt the seemingly inexorable
path to all-out war. He arranged ceasefires, visited
prisoner-of-war camps, extricated election monitors and organised
hostage releases. His experiences made him a key witness at the
International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague at the trials of
Milosevic, Mladic and Karadzic. With his unprecedented access,
Doyle's personal account can claim to be one of the most
significant works on the brutal Bosnian War.
