The Yugoslav Wars: - Slovenia and Croatia 1991-1995

Informationen zum Autor Nigel Thomas, K Mikulan Klappentext Osprey's examination of Slovenia and Croatia's armies' involvement in the Yugoslav Wars (1991-1995). Following the death of the Yugoslavian strongman President Tito in 1980, the several semi-autonomous republics and provinces that he had welded into a nation in 1945 moved inexorably towards separation. After a deceptively clean break for independence by Slovenia in 1991, the world watched a series of other wars rip through this modern European state. In this first of two volumes, experts on the Balkan region give an unprecedentedly clear, concise explanation of the Slovene, Croatian and Krajina-Serb armies of these campaigns, illustrated with rare photos and an extraordinary range of colour uniform plates. Zusammenfassung The breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s was the bloodiest conflict in Europe since World War II, costing thousands of lives. Providing a detailed account of the struggle that focuses on the numerous combatant armies, this book, the first in a two-part series, is an illustrated guide to the militia forces of the campaigns in the former Yugoslavia.
