The Road to Kosovo: A Balkan Diary

This first-person, on-the-road travel adventure, the first book by Blood Diamonds author Greg Campbell, lets you ride shotgun through one of the most dangerous and hate-filled regions on earth—the former republics of Yugoslavia—and into a land caught in the uneasy twilight between two brutal wars. Told in a fast-paced, rollicking style that’s funny, sad, thoughtful, and at times horrifying, The Road to Kosovo shows us war and the struggle for peace through the eyes of a young journalist. The poignant scenes of death, confusion, and hopelessness that Campbell observes—not from media hotels but from the homes of locals, in their bars, and on the side of the road—paint a vivid picture of a troubled region resistant to lasting peace. The Road to Kosovo, first published in 1999, has been newly edited and expanded by the author in 2012 exclusively for digital publication.
