Yugoslav civil war '90s non-intervention aspects

[Tukhachevskii]

Osprey Books has had several different uniforms/units series over the years that addressed the Yugoslav conflicts in the '90s.

The Collapse of Yugoslavia has a lot of what you're looking for

Yugoslav Wars I covers Slovenia & Croatia

Yugoslav Wars II starts with Bosnia and goes thru Kosovo


The second 2 are probably closer to what you want, but the first one is also good.

Thanks for the hint but I already downloaded those from somewhere or other. They're ok but they're thin on details, TTPs, ORBATs, chains of command, stratgeic and tactical decision-making (did operational art exist during the "troubles"?). That sort of stuff. Thanks anyway.


Just found this e-article which claims;

investigators of the Serbian Institute for Strategic Research of Defence Ministry said, commenting the master thesis of Slovenian researcher Marko Prešeren about the outbreak of hostilities and armed insurrection in Slovenia in 1991, which recently stirred the public in a former Yugoslav republic.

Using CIA reports and analyzing cases from the mock trials Slovenian leadership staged for Yugoslav Army members in political purpose, Marko Prešeren found that Yugoslav civil war — which first broke up in Slovenia — was instigated by the Slovenian paramilitary formations called Territorial Defence and not by the Yugoslav Army, commonly regarded as an “aggressor” and the main culprit, allegedly instrumentalized by the Serbian political leadership, for all the evils, death and destruction Yugoslavia was engulfed in since the ill-fated 1991.

I know from the research I did at Uni that something along these lines was the case (the demonise Serbia school ultimately won out over a fair and balanced account. Note also the story in the right margin regarding the KLA terrorist).
