This month marks the twentieth anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, in which 8000 people were killed in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica. The mass killing was the single deadliest event of the Bosnian War, and the most recognized atrocity of the post–Cold War era.
A number of reports about the anniversary have mentioned my research and books about the conflict, including this item by Srdja Trifkovic (“Srebrenica, twenty years later“) and another by David N. Gibbs (“The Srebrenica Precedent“).
