Bosnia: Looking Back at a Tragedy

The complexity and savagery of this conflict have been largely forgotten as the focus of world attention has switched to the wider Middle East.
Having completed three 6-month tours of duty, both during and after the Bosnian civil war, my knowledge of the conflict and of its aftermath is a unique mix of fact and personal anecdotes.
