In this groundbreaking book, Derek Chollet provides unprecedented
insights into the high-stakes diplomacy behind the historic 1995
Dayton agreement that ended the war in Bosnia--the most devastating
conflict in Europe since the Second World War. Based on still
unopened U.S. government archives and hours of interviews, "The
Road to the Dayton Accords "is a fast-paced history that focuses on
the key players, decisions and events on the difficult journey to
peace, taking the reader from the killing fields of the Balkans to
tense meetings in the Oval Office to dramatic negotiations on a
secluded Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio. Exhaustively researched
and candidly written, this is a behind the scenes portrait of
statecraft at the highest levels. The book sheds new light on one
of the Clinton administration's most important-and
lasting--diplomatic achievements, which proved to be a critical
turning point for America's relationship with Europe and for Bill
Clinton's presidency. With novelistic detail, this book also
deepens our understanding of the course and conduct of modern
American foreign policy, especially over U.S. efforts to solve the
world's most difficult conflicts--a challenge that still dominates
the news today.

For six months in 1919, after the end of “the war to end all wars,” the Big Three—President Woodrow Wilson, British prime minister David Lloyd George, and French premier Georges Clemenceau—met in Paris to shape a lasting peace. In this landmark work of narrative history, Margaret MacMillan gives a dramatic and intimate view of those fateful days, which saw new political entities—Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Palestine, among them—born out of the ruins of bankrupt empires, and the borders of the modern world redrawn.
The intricate diplomacy that led to the peace agreement in Bosnia,
known as the Dayton Accords, is here revealed in unprecedented
detail. Based on thousands of still-classified government documents
and dozens of interviews with key participants, this is a
comprehensive story of high-level diplomacy, told from the inside.

The student uprisings of 1968 erupted not only in America but also
across Europe, expressing a distinct generational attitude about
politics, the corrupt nature of democratic capitalism, and the evil
of military interventions. Yet, thirty-five years later, many in
that radical generation had come into conventional positions of
power: among them Bill Clinton (who reportedly stayed up all night
reading this book) and Joschka Fischer, foreign minister of
Germany. During a 1970s street protest, Fischer was photographed
beating a cop to the ground; during the 1990s, he was supporting
Clinton in a NATO-led military intervention in the Balkans. Here
Paul Berman, "one of America's best exponents of recent
intellectual history" ("The Economist"), masterfully traces the
intellectual and moral evolution of an impassioned generation and
gives an acute analysis of what it means to go to war in the name
of democracy and human rights."
