Challenges media coverage of the war in Yugoslavia and the aerial attacks launched by the United States and NATO, and argues that Western leaders and NATO waged a disinformation campaign in pursuit of free-market reforms For 78 days in 1999, US and NATO forces launched round-the-clock aerial attacks against Yugoslavia, killing upwards of 3000 people in the name of humanitarianism. This book challenges mainstream media coverage of the war and uncovers hidden agendas behind Western talk and a decade-long disinformation campaign waged by western leaders. Acknowledgments
