The Kosovo War
Warfare - Un pódcast de History Hit
Categorías:
The war in Ukraine has left many of us aghast that open armed conflict could again erupt on the European continent... except the idea of a peaceful post-WW2 Europe is hardly historically correct.The Kosovo War of 1999 is but one example. Over 78 days NATO aircraft bombarded the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's forces into submission, achieving a swift victory without a single ground troop having to be deployed.The conflict has been described as Tony Blair's 'Perfect War', but is this accurate? In this episode James is joined by author and former UK diplomat Arthur Snell to find out.Arthur's new book How Britain Broke the World is available here.This episode was edited by Aidan Lonergan.For more Warfare content, subscribe to our Warfare Wednesday newsletter here.
