I feel he blames too much the Serbs, while depicting the Croatians as victims, whereas both had the intentions to wipe out Bosnian Muslims and get their land (confirmed by several army officers of both countries in the following years).

Shadowplay : Behind the Lines and Under Fire: The Inside

When getting into that diplomatic territory, Marshall begins to quote a lot of unnamed inside sources, which may be unavoidable- but in fact he barely provides any sources at all, with a feeble bibliography.This book is a memoir of the author’s experience as a journalist in the Kosovo war, but it also tries to be a lot more and fails pretty badly.

He inspires people with a deeper sense of how we can best adapt to the vicissitudes of social, political, economic and technological developments. That narrow focus can be excused from a memoir, since the author can’t help what he was and wasn’t present to see. Timothy John Marshall (born 1 May 1959) is a British journalist, author, and broadcaster, specialising in foreign affairs and international diplomacy.The bulk of the book was written in the early 2000s, and so a short introduction and conclusion seek to bring it up to the present; unfortunately the latter is mostly focused on Russia. At first I found this a difficult book to break into, as you're thrown right in at the end of the late 1990s after the breakup of Yugoslavia and at the dawn of the Kosovo War, with very little context for how you're there or what has happened, or who the major players are. If you believe that the government and media are faithfully reporting world events to the public, then this book will make you think twice and hopefully open your eyes to the fact that everyone has an angle and a motive. Drawing on personal experience, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with intelligence officials from 5 countries, this is the definitive account of how and why the Serbian Revolution was put together. Marshall was educated at Prince Henry's Grammar School, a state-funded comprehensive school in the market town of Otley, near Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Twenty years have passed since the wars end on 11 June 1999, yet Kosovos status remains uncertain and questions remain about the possibility of future conflict on European soil. However, as he was a corespondent, there's not too much emotion when it came to the conflict, more an account with the odd humour in the less dire parts (such as an interaction with the then journalist, now Prime Minister Johnson). In fact individual Kosovo Albanians are only mentioned four times total in the entire book; if you’re looking to learn anything about Kosovo beyond the very basics you won’t find it here. He won finalist certificates in 2007, for a report on the Mujahideen, and in 2004 for his documentary 'The Desert Kingdom' which featured exclusive access to Crown Prince Abdullah and his palaces.Kinda mid tbh, but I also bought this on a whim in the middle of Ireland thinking it’d be a more holistic story of the Yugoslavian wars. Serbia is in the same situation today with Vučić regarding freedoms and abuse, but no one seems to care, because of one small difference: he suits the West.
