ISSUE OCTOBER 2008

The second half of the Eighties promised to be relatively peaceful, but it didn't last long.

While the Gulf war of 1990-91 to drive the Iraq invaders out of Kuwait was relatively short-lived, the break-up of former Yugoslavia was threatening a new terror on Europe's doorstep.

Serb and Croat neighbours went for the Jugular, stirring centuries-old enmities and drawing thier Muslim populations into a war of hate. A chilling new phrase – ethnic cleansing – revived memories of the Nazis.

United Nations "peacekeepers" without a mandate to enforce a ceasefire were caught in a vicious war which dragged on until October 1995. Nato's muscular introduction brought order and a degree of peace.
