- Summary
- "In this remarkable memoir, Milan Panić tells the formerly unknown story of his attempts to oust Slobodan Milošević and his battles with the U.S. State Department in an effort to bring peace to the Balkans during the Yugoslav Wars. A young cycling champion who fought the Nazi occupation in Yugoslavia with Tito's partisans, Panic defected after World War II from his now-communist country to start a new life in the United States. But his greatest challenge still lay ahead when he was invited to serve as prime minister of Yugoslavia. But in Belgrade, ancient enmities and suspicions festered, and the threat of tragedy and bloodshed loomed large as ethnic conflict raged. And even as Panic implored the West for support, he would have to outwit the machinations of a wily Serbian dictator, Slobodan Milošević. Including behind-the-scenes details of his rivalry with Milošević, this book is a compelling chronicle of the road to peace in the Balkans"--Provided by publisher.
