NATO's war on Yugoslavia in the spring of 1999 was unleashed in the
name of democracy and human rights. This view was challenged by the
world's three largest countries, India, China and Russia, who saw
the bombing of Serbia and Kosovo as a naked attempt to assert US
dominance in an unstable world. In the West, media networks were
joined by substantial sectors of left/liberal opinion in supporting
the war. Nonetheless, a wide variety of figures emerged to
challenge the prevailing consensus. Their work, gathered here for
the first time, forms a collection of key statements and anti-war
writings from some of democracy's most eloquent dissidents-Noam
Chomsky, Harold Pinter, Edward Said and many others-who provide
carefully researched examinations of the real motives for the US
action, dissections and critiques of the ideology of 'humanitarian
warfare', and chartings of the unnecessary tragedy of a region laid
to waste in the pursuance of Great Power politics. This reader
presents some of the most important texts on NATO's Balkan crusade
and forms a major intervention in the debate on global
geo-political strategy after the Cold War.
