520    Based on the author's experiences as a serving soldier and
       European Commission Monitor, a narrative account of the 
       civil war in the former YugoslaviaBrendan O'Shea had 
       access to both EU and UN official documents for his 
       research and used these to unravel the complex story of 
       the Bosnian war. He tells the tragic story of what 
       happened at the "safe haven" at Bihac in northwestern 
       Bosnia between 1992 and 1996, showing the Bosnian civil 
       war in microcosm. At Bihac, Muslims fought all variety of 
       Serb, Muslims fought Muslims, and the Croats interfered 
       continually, thereby ensuring a rapid descent into bitter 
       civil war and a vindictive power struggle. "Ethnic 
       cleansing" was rife, and horrific war crimes that shocked 
       the world were committed on all sides. Local politicians 
       manipulated the desperate refugee situation in order to 
       extract concessions, humanitarian aid, and considerable 
       sums of money from the UN and other agencies, and then 
       siphoned off huge quantities to pay for military arms and 
       equipment. O'Shea reveals how the generals manipulated all
       agencies who came to assist them to ensure their own 
       military and political advancement. Radovan Karadzic, 
       Ratko Mladic, and Slobodan Milosevic are still names that 
       stick horribly in the memory. As every party to the 
       Bosnian tragedy promoted their own version of events as 
       the truth, O'Shea reveals the numerous layers of deceit 
       and dishonesty.
