The massacre at Srebrenica of between 3000 and 5000 Muslim prisoners by Bosnian Serbs is one of the most horrifying tales to emerge from the bitter conflict in Bosnia. It changed the course of the war and led to the deployment of US ground troops in the area. It also became the first atrocity in modern times where the well-intentioned but ineffectual Western involvment contributed directly to the mass executions. Drawing on first person interviews with the perpetrators, victims and onlookers of these crimes, this tale of the ten days during which Bosnian Serbs captured a UN safe haven and brutally murdered its inhabitants traces the full story of how this modern massacre unfolded.
