Witness to War Crimes: The Memoirs of an Irish Peacekeeper in Bosnia
by Colm Doyle
€ 24.95 Save €2.54 (RRP €27.49)
ISBN: 9781785371899
The early 1990s saw Europe's first conflict for almost 40 years when bitter fighting broke out in the former Yugoslav republic. Colonel Colm Doyle of the Irish Defence Forces found himself in the midst of this appalling civil war when, in October 1991, he became first a European Community Monitor and almost immediately Head of the Monitor Mission in besieged Sarajevo. After six months he was appointed Personal Representative to Lord Carrington, Chairman of the Peace Conference on Yugoslavia.
In this long overdue memoir, he describes his role mediating, negotiating and persuading political and military leaders of all sides to halt the seemingly inexorable path to all-out civil war. He arranged ceasefires, visited prisoner-of-war camps, extricated election monitors and organised hostage releases. His experiences made him a key witness at the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague at the trials of Milosevic, Mladic and Karadzic.
With his unprecedented access, Doyle's personal account can claim to be one of the most significant insights to the brutal Bosnian War.
