Full Description
The breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s was the bloodiest conflict in Europe since World War II, costing thousands of lives. Nigel Thomas and K Mikulan provide the first detailed account of the struggle that focuses on the numerous combatant armies. Including extensive research through official documents and local sources, they examine the political background and the military campaigns, supplementing their text with detailed maps, orders of battles, rank insignia plates and colour photographs and illustrations. This book, the first in a two-part series, is the only concise, authoritative and illustrated guide to the regular and militia forces of the campaigns in the former Yugoslavia.
