    First published in 2001. The main focus of this book is on a particular topic: the internal military political history of the war in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. In other words, it examines the actual policies of the military and political leaderships in those two countries, and the ways in which those policies were formed or deformed by political purposes, strategic aims and military logistical constraints. It is a topic central to any proper understanding of how and why the war developed as it did.
