Title: The fall of Milosevic
First published: 2003
Description: "Told for the first time, here is the riveting story of how common people - miners, cooks, former soldiers - shook off the intimidation of Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic and peacefully overthrew his tyrannical regime.

Based on numerous interviews with participants, from the man in the street to top officials in the Serbian regime, The Fall of Milosevic recounts the exhilaration, fear, and chaos of a population rising in opposition to a tyrant, the "Butcher of the Balkans." As the people gathered in protest, behind the scenes the pillars of Milosevic's regime crumbled - politicians, military officers, and the police deserted a leader no longer legitimate in the eyes of the people.

This is the story of individuals facing down fear and rising up for democracy."--BOOK JACKET.
