TO CHALLENGE THE US/NATO OCCUPATION OF THE BALKANS,
THE TRUTH MUST BE KNOWN
Dear Friend,
We need your help. The outrageous demonization that
the wars of the past decade in the Balkans are the fault
of the Serbian people and their leaders must be answered.
Our second book on the decade of wars that dismembered
Yugoslavia is ready to go to the printers.
This well-researched and documented book,
'This is Peace? NATO's Balkan Occupation,' has involved
hundreds of hours of work by a dedicated staff of volunteers.
Now we are depending on your support.
Four years ago the International Action Center
published 'NATO in the Balkans.' That book proved to be a
powerful tool for informing the public about US war plans in
the Balkans. It went into three printings, was
translated into Serbian and Greek, and sections of it
appeared in publications in Italian, Spanish, Dutch, French,
German and Russian.
Our new book, 'This is Peace? NATO's Balkan Occupation,'
fills a great void. There is no truthful record published in
the US of NATO war crimes in the bombing of Yugoslavia.
No one has exposed the illegal kidnapping and
detention of President Slobodan Milosevic by the
US-sponsored International Criminal Tribunal on Yugoslavia
or the crime of NATO occupation of the entire region.
The truth needs to be told. The US/NATO attack on
Yugoslavia was truly the "foot in the door," as the late
Sean Gervasi pointed out in 'NATO in the Balkans.' It has
led to yet another US war, this time in Afghanistan. As
the United States military moves deeper into Central Asia,
once again keeping the truth about this new war from the
people of the United States, we must not forget the lies and
aggression in Yugoslavia.
Over 30 of the most courageous and articulate voices
opposing US/NATO war crimes during and after the bombing
of Yugoslavia have contributed to 'This is Peace?
NATO's Balkan Occupation.' This 360-page book details the
media campaign that hid the brutal destruction of
Yugoslavia in the 79-day NATO war. The 20-page photo section
clearly shows the civilian targets.
The historical record of the People's Tribunals held in
the United States and Europe charging NATO with war crimes
are included in this volume along with the US funding and
control of the International Criminal Tribunal based
at The Hague.
You know how important it is that there be an
accurate record of these crimes. You know how difficult it
is to live knowing the truth, but unable to get it out.
'This is Peace? NATO's Balkan Occupation' will enable
activists and scholars here and abroad to understand what
is at stake. NATO occupation is no solution for any of
the peoples in the region. The prospect for a common
struggle against outside domination and the thugs who
have sold out to the multi-national corporations will be
aided by the knowledge this book has to offer.
You can do something important. You can help the
International Action Center publish 'This is Peace? NATO's
Balkan Occupation.'
Please help to sponsor the printing and distribution of
this vital work, which will be available both in English
and in Greek by February 2002. The Serbian
edition will be available soon after. The budget for this
book is modest because our labor is voluntary, but we need
to raise $25,000 to do a first press run.
You can have your name listed as one of the people who
made this book possible. Donors of $1,000 will be featured
in the book as sponsors.
Contributors of $100 or more will be thanked in print as
well. You will also receive two copies of the book that
can be given to a library, school, journalist, elected
official or whoever you choose. In order to have your
name listed in the acknowledgements we must hear from you
by December 31.
You can make a tax-deductible donation by writing your
check to People's Rights Fund/NATO Book II.
Your help has been decisive in the past. Please
ensure that the truth about Yugoslavia is documented for
the 21st century and for future generations.
Your contribution will enable this to happen.
With enduring appreciation for your generosity and
commitment,

This is Peace? NATO's Balkan Occupation
The war in Yugoslavia signalled the start of US
strategy to move into
Eastern Europe and beyond....
How did the United States achieve the breakup and
occupation of Yugoslavia?
What was the role of US media lies and the
manipulation of international agencies, including the UN?
Why did the campaign to demonize the Serbian people
and Slobodan Milosevic accompany the 70 day NATO bombing
of Yugoslavia?
Who benefited? US/NATO military bases have been set
up throughout the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and the Middle
East and Central Asia to protect Western corporate plunder
of the labor and resources of the region.
'This is Peace? NATO's Balkan Occupation' represents
the only historical record in English of NATO's illegal war
in Yugoslavia.
360 pages, photo section, maps, index, chronology.
