Within three and a half years of its inception, the Bosnian Army succeeded in fighting the Serbian army to a standstill - Serbia was forced to recognise Bosnia's independence. Yet the victory was ambiguous, leaving two thirds of the country under the control of Serb and Croat extremists while the remainder had become a predominantly Muslim Bosniak-inhabited area. Challenging the opposing stereotypes of 'Islamic fundamentalism' and 'multi-ethnic Bosnia' the author seeks to establish what really happened in Bosnian internal politics during the war.
