Getting to Dayton

Description:

"For over three years, Washington responded to the war in Bosnia by handing the problem off to the Europeans to resolve and substituting high-minded rhetoric for concerted action. Then, in the summer of 1995, the Clinton administration suddenly shifted course, deciding to take on the leadership role necessary to end the war.". "In this book, Ivo H. Daalder - who coordinated U.S. policy on Bosnia for the National Security Council from 1995 through 1996 - examines why and how Washington finally took on the role it had for so long declined to embrace. Drawing on numerous interviews with key participants in the process, as well as recollections of his own efforts, Daalder shows how the policy to end the war took shape."--BOOK JACKET.
