The article highlights "Unvanquished: A U. S.-U. N. Saga," by Boutros Boutros-Ghali. In this memoir of his tenure as UN Secretary General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali describes how U. S. President Bill Clinton responded to media pressure to do "something" about Bosnia. This "seemed to be air strikes, which would punish the Serbs and provide the United States and NATO with the appearance of decisiveness without risking unacceptable military losses on the ground." The Serbs, he argues, "would seize territory and inflict horrors upon the civilian population."
