"In this book, Derek Chollet provides insights into the high-stakes diplomacy behind the historic 1995 Dayton agreement that ended the war in Bosnia - the most devastating conflict in Europe since the Second World War. Based on still unopened U.S. government archives and hours of interviews, The Road to the Dayton Accords is a fast-paced history that focuses on the key players, decisions, and events on the difficult journey to peace, taking the reader from the killing fields of the Balkans, to tense meetings in the Oval Office, to dramatic negotiations on a secluded Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio."--BOOK JACKET.
