A Comprehensive History and Analysis of NATO's War Against Serbian Forces Over Kosovo
On the night of March 24, 1999, NATO forces initiated military action to halt Serbia's campaign of repression during the Kosovo War. Initially envisioned as a 72-hour operation, it unfolded into a 78-day saga of sustained air warfare, culminating in Operation Allied Force achieving its ultimate objective. Despite facing setbacks such as the loss of an F-117 stealth fighter and the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, the Allied Force ultimately secured a remarkable airpower victory.
However, there exists a scarcity of comprehensive written histories dedicated to NATO's air war over Kosovo. In this invaluable book, Dr. Brian D. Laslie, a renowned scholar in modern air power operations, presents a comprehensive account of the campaign, drawing upon a diverse range of primary and secondary sources. While predominantly focused on the United States Air Force's contributions, the campaign also encompassed multinational efforts and significant naval aviation contributions.
Dr. Laslie employs captivating original battle scenes, detailed maps, and 3D diagrams to examine the aircraft, weapons, and doctrines employed, the Serbian air defenses, the strategic planning and execution of the Allied air campaign, and the adaptability of NATO in adjusting its initial plans to achieve success. This insightful work sheds light on the intricate details and strategic nuances of this pivotal conflict, providing a valuable resource for scholars, military enthusiasts, and policymakers alike.
