"The war in Kosovo was instigated by the Kosovo Albanian rebel group known as the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), with the intent of creating an independent Kosovo free from Yugolsabia, for the majority Kosovo Albanians. The Yugolsav Army retaliation was brutal, thousands were killed and more than a million exiled. With the help of NATO forces and hard-line diplomacy the Kosovans won the war and later gained independence."--Back cover.
