Destinations London 2020 Schedule - Stanfords Travel Writers Festival - Stanfords Travel Writers Festival
Introduction
The shattering of Yugoslavia in the 1990s showed that, after nearly 50 years of peace, war could return to Europe. It came to its bloody conclusion in Kosovo in 1999. Tim Marshall, then diplomatic editor at Sky News, was on the ground covering the Kosovo War. He gives an illuminating account of how events unfolded, drawing on personal experience, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with intelligence officials from five countries.
