This book covers the Balkan history as well. If you had read through table of contents you'd notice.

The book is structured into seven sections, each providing a different perspective on the conflict. Buckley was careful to balance firsthand accounts with academic approaches and comments from political figures active in the conflict and its resolution.
Within the sections, the articles were chosen to provide a dialectic analysis of the Kosovo question, and the variety of well-argued viewpoints come as something of a surprise for anyone whose knowledge of the situation is primarily derived from the mainstream media.
The diversity of contributors is exceptional. Buckley has gathered statements from political leaders such as Slobodan Milosivic, Kofi Annan, and Vaclav Havel; peacekeeping and military leaders such as General Wesley K. Clark and Javier Solona; foreign policy experts such as Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski; and thinkers as disparate as Jurgen Habermas and Jean Bethke Elshtain. Along with these outside perspectives, Buckley included a diverse selection of Balkan contributors. The result is a book that succeeds in giving each perspective an opportunity to be heard.
