ABSTRACT
Destruction of Bosnia. It notes the overwhelming acceptance of the book’s central theses tha Britain should and could have intervened much earlier to stop Serb aggression, that failure to do so had profound effects for transatlantic relations within NATO and that the British establishment persisted in mystifying the conflict and exaggerated the perils of military intervention. The analysis also stresses, however, the way in which the book reflected rather than created the new consensus on British policy towards the Bosnian war.
