Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This volume offers a denunciation of the Kosovo war which unites theory with a study of the conflict. Tearing aside the veil of hypocrisy in which the US and its allies wrapped the war, the author demonstrates that the nature of the bombing was set by strategic rather than ethical considerations."

Includes bibliographical references.
