War of words

"Sremac offers a look at the processes and ideology that guide Washington in the post-Cold War era allowing special interest groups that understand how Washington works to put forth a message which appeals to the media and receives endorsement by the U.S. foreign policymaking establishment. Foreign governments and their supporters in the United States have increasingly tapped into this system."--BOOK JACKET. "Sremac goes behind the rhetoric and propaganda to reveal how Yugoslavia's Bosnian Muslim, Croat, and Albanian ethnic factions sought to win the heart of Washington and draw U.S. military intervention to help them fight a war against their foe - the Serbs. A controversial look at Washington, the media, and the Balkans, this book will be of interest to all concerned individuals, scholars, and others who want to gain a behind-the-scenes understanding of what is really happening in the Yugoslav conflict, and explore trends in Washington that continue to encourage U.S. interventionism in ethnic conflicts today."--BOOK JACKET.
