Summary
To End a War is Richard Holbrooke's firsthand account of the intense diplomatic negotiations that led to the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords, ending the Bosnian War. As the chief U.S. negotiator, Holbrooke provides an insider's perspective on the complex shuttle diplomacy between hostile Balkan leaders, including Slobodan Milošević, Franjo Tuđman, and Alija Izetbegović. The book chronicles the challenging peace process, from the tragic deaths of colleagues on Mount Igman to the grueling talks at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. It offers valuable insights into high-stakes international negotiations and the difficult decisions required to broker peace in a devastating ethnic conflict.
