When President Clinton sent Richard Holbrooke to Bosnia as America's chief negotiator in late 1995, he took a gamble that would eventually redefine his presidency. But there was no saying then, at the height of the war, that Holbrooke's mission would succeed. The odds were strongly against it.
As passionate as he was controversial, Holbrooke believed that the only way to bring peace to the Balkans was through a complex blend of American leadership, aggressive and creative diplomacy, and a willingness to use force, if necessary, in the cause for peace. This was not a universally popular view. Resistance was fierce within the United Nations and the chronically divided Contact Group, and in Washington, where many argued that the United States should not get more deeply involved. This book is Holbrooke's gripping inside account of his mission, of the decisive months when, belatedly and reluctantly but ultimately decisively, the United States reasserted its moral authority and leadership and ended Europe's worst war in over half a century. To End a War reveals many important new details of how America made this historic decision.
What George F. Kennan has called Holbrooke's "heroic efforts" were shaped by the enormous tragedy with which the mission began, when three of his four team members were killed during their first attempt to reach Sarajevo. In Belgrade, Sarajevo, Zagreb, Paris, Athens, and Ankara, and throughout the dramatic roller-coaster ride at Dayton, he tirelessly imposed, cajoled, and threatened in the quest to stop the killing and forge a peace agreement. Holbrooke's portraits of the key actors, from officials in the White House and the Élysée Palace to the leaders in the Balkans, are sharp and unforgiving. His explanation of how the United States was finally forced to intervene breaks important new ground, as does his discussion of the near disaster in the early period of the implementation of the Dayton agreement.
To End a War is a brilliant portrayal of high-wire, high-stakes diplomacy in one of the toughest negotiations of modern times. A classic account of the uses and misuses of American power, its lessons go far beyond the boundaries of the Balkans and provide a powerful argument for continued American leadership in the modern world.

Between 1991 and 1995 over a quarter million people died during the conflict in the Balkan states. Meanwhile, the rest of Europe did not understand--or chose not to understand--what this war was about. The U.N. sent peacekeeping forces to aid the helpless, but would not assert its will to bring a peaceful end to the atrocities.
In a bold, contentious move by Clinton's first administration, a peace delegation was sent to Bosnia to secure an accord at any cost. A vocal proponent of this was Richard Holbrooke, then assistant secretary of state, who believed in hawkish diplomacy and a willingness to impose the moral will of America, if necessary. Holbrooke's belligerent pursuit of peace can be attributed in part to the tragedy of losing three of his team on the way through Sarajevo, making his quest for peace purposeful and passionate. In To End a War, an honest assessment and account of the events that followed, Holbrooke walks us through the complexities of the Dayton Accord from the perspective of the politicians and military men involved. It provides a fascinating insight into modern political diplomacy and the role of America in the international arena.
Without being a crusader, Holbrooke stresses throughout the need for responsible public service, subtly attacking some modern-day diplomats who use their positions irresponsibly. Ultimately he concludes that this peace process demonstrates the need for countries of power, such as the U.S., to take their of leadership roles seriously. To End a War is the definitive account of the peace process in the former Yugoslavia, important to anyone who wishes to understand the conflict in its entirety. --Jeremy Storey
From Publishers Weekly
American negotiator Holbrooke offers a fast-paced, first-person account of the American-led diplomatic initiative that ended the bloodshed of ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia in 1995. A veteran of the Vietnam peace talks, one-time ambassador to Germany and assistant secretary of state, Holbrooke guides readers through "fourteen weeks... filled with conflict, confusion, and tragedy before... success." This is a penetrating portrait of modern diplomacyAwhat the author describes as "something like a combination of chess and mountain climbing." Spurred on by the deaths of three colleagues on his negotiating team (their armored personnel carrier toppled over a cliff on a treacherous approach to Sarajevo), Holbrooke hammers out a cease-fire in an intensive shuttle among the three Balkan presidents, and then presides over the three-week cloistered peace conference in Dayton, Ohio. He covers the elements of crafting effective foreign policy: coordination among various agencies and personalities in Washington; dealing with European allies; ensuring that military and diplomatic efforts work in concert; negotiating with ethnic nationalist leaders; "spinning" the press; and selling the peace plan to a skeptical Congress and public. While he provides scant background into the historical roots of the Balkan conflict, Holbrooke details the various stages of the negotiating process and vividly describes the Balkan leaders: the arrogant Tudjman, the sly Milosevic and the bickering and disorganized Bosnian Muslims. Although often self-justifying, Holbrooke acknowledges several errors, such as allowing the Bosnian Serb entity to retain the "blood-soaked name" of Republika Srpska. Still, his achievement in forging peace in Bosnia is beyond question, and his account of that process is essential for understanding how American power can be brought to bear on the course of history.

An extraordinary account and fascinating read by a key participant in ending the Bosnia Conflict. Dick Holbrooke was truly larger than life and his untimely demise was our great loss.

"To End a War" is a book that is well worth reading.
By A Customer
In his book , "To End a War" Richard Holbrooke does an adequate job of giving insight as to the negotiations on the war in Bosnia. It helps to see the view of one who has spoken with and haggled with all major parties who settled the Bosnian "peace plan". Mr Holbrooke posessess a gret amount of confidence in his ideas and somerimes it is to the point of where he gives the impression of being pompus. An underlying theme that of course never fully brought to light by Mr. Holbrooke is the idea that the Americans are omnicent, a senior cabinet member or even the President spoke to the three parties, why to hear him tell it their mere prescence would solve all problems. However Mr. Holbrooke should have known and he was soon reminded that though the muslims, serbs and croats might be impressed with the prescence of Bill Clinton or one of his cabinent members that does not neccesarily mean that they are willing to comply. To think that some senior U.S. official can change the nature of ideas in the Balkans is ignorant conciet that can be classified as underestimating the opponent. However Holbrooke does do a good job of telling everything in his book, of being honest, some of the facts in the book where not very flattering no matter how god of a spin that he put on it. It almost seems from reading "To End a War" that peace will reign in Bosnia because Richard Holbrooke and the Americans - as well as their allies - will it and they will have it even if it requires being forceful and undiplomatic. To take issue with one final point in the book I must comment on Mr. Holbrooke anger at the Bosnian Serbs unwillingness to sign the Dayton Peace Accords. He said himself that he told Slobodan Milosevic that he would not negtiate at Dayton with the Bosnian Serbs at Dayton, they must accept the affer that was accepted by Milosevic, then he had the gall to wonder why Dayton was almost ruined by the peturbed Bosnian Serbs. Eventually they were coerced by Milosevic to accept the peace deal but Mr Holbrooke need not question why peace is so difficult to achieve in the Balkans. Mr. Holbrooke lets the reader gain the impression that he and Milosevic are good friends and he can work a deal with "Slobo" at just about any time but as people who keep up with current events know Milosevic can convince people left and right that he is making a deal with them but he can always work his way out of it. Aside from my personal thought as to th econtent of the book I do believe that the book is well written in the fact that it alows the reader to see the possible weaknessess of the negotiation process whether it is the authors intent or not. I guess the way in which Mr. Holbrooke tells about both the good and the bad of the negotiation process so that the reader can decide for themselves if Dayton had a positive outcame is what makes the book worth reading, as well as the background infrmation.
