ABSTRACT
This chapter represents the first attempt at a systematic examination of the causes, conduct and consequences of the war in former Yugoslavia, so we can be forgiven if there are omissions or mistakes. I shall begin by observing that the multinational JNA as such is not guilty for having been drawn into the war, whereas both its leadership and many of the new, younger Serb officers who attained important positions in the armed forces between 1975 and 1990 do bear great responsibility for the outbreak and subsequent course of the war.
