Contents Summary

Peter Jennings examines, in detail, the reasons why the U.S. and European Community have been hesitant from the beginning to get involved in the war in the former Yugoslavia. A variety of opinions are expressed through commentary by Jandranka Cigelj, Roy Gutman, various State Department and military officials, UN workers, former Secretary of State Laurence Eagleburger, and former Ambassador to Yugoslavia, Warren Zimmerman, among others. There is a lot of footage of civilian destruction, dead bodies, prisoners in death camps, and refugees.
