This illegal bombing campaign, which over-rode the authority of the United Nations, looks likely to have killed more civilians during 78 days than were killed by either side in the year leading up to the campaign. It has severely damaged the infrastructure of Kosovo and Serbia, created a massive refugee crisis and an excuse for the Kosovo Liberation Army to perpetrate their own current campaign of ethnic terror. John Pilger and other experts in the field provide a rigorously researched expos of the many fictions of the 'war' and the mechanisms by which they were maintained. Meanwhile the heads of NATO are evading accountability for their actions because, as this book explains, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has effectively 'served as an arm of NATO'. Required reading for anyone wishing to understand the war and the media's crucial role in it.

Underpinning this compilation is the notion that Impropriety is good publicity . The result is mixed. Images and messages inevitably jar. On one page is featured a man trying to fit a record number of cigars into his mouth. A few pages on you have someone setting fire to themselves as a political protest in 1963 Saigon.
