Notable quote on Biljana Plavŝić: "The fact a woman could be responsible for some of the most horrible atrocities committed in Bosnia...must be a hard pill to swallow for anyone who believes, even vaguely, that if women ruled, the world would be a better place." Case in point, Plavŝić was more radical than the regime. Women are not peaceful/benevolent in politics and War. Powerful women still operate under Power.

Chapters on the Miloševic's. Banality of beaurocratic evil and cult of personality. The book didn't tell me anything new and the author made a point to say even in the Hague, she didn't either learn anything about them either. She called them empty, lost, and shallow people.

Ch. 8 Dražen Erdemović - This chapter, as all in this book are, being vignettes, was short but packed a really hard punch. A soldier who wasn't good at or interested in being one became a (reluctant?) fellow executioner of 1200 in only a few hours from those gathered from Srebrenica. Harrowing stuff.

Ch. 7 Radislav Krstić & Srebrenica. This book has been really great so far. It reads very quickly. My only complaint is that each chapter is more like a small overview of each war criminals trials for the 91-95 Balkan conflicts. I want more details and in depth information, especially in regard to civilian experiences. Her points on generational views/history are excellent.
