Sleeping In The Ditch With Slobodan Milosevic - Paperback

by James Lee (Author)

Bringing peace to the Former Yugoslavia with diesel, gas, plastic cutlery and booze...

It was the year we first heard that football was coming home, and what the Spice Girls really, really, wanted. For me and many others, 1996 was the time of my first tour of the Balkans.

James Lee's story is pieced together from fragmented notes, fading memories, and the invaluable insights of friends who were there, especially those who managed to pay attention when it mattered most. Together, these recollections form a mosaic of his experiences, capturing the surreal situations in which he often found himself, where the line between the absurd and the tragic was constantly blurred.

This is not just his account, but a tribute to all who took part in encouraging peace in the Balkans during and after one of modern Europe's darkest periods.
