Poems from
Kosovo
War Poetry,
plus background to the war in Kosovo and the rest of Serbia and Montenegro (part
of former Yugoslavia)
An Englishman, whose earliest
memories are of German bombers overhead, considers the bombing of Yugoslavia
to be a crime against humanity. Having discussed the morality of bombing with
a British bomber pilot he describes a bombing mission from a pilot’s point of
view. (This poem, Pilot's Testament, is now widely studied in British schools.)
He listens to the anguish of participants on the ground and tells the stories
from both sides. He comments on the media presentation of contemporary warfare
and has things to say about issues of terrorism, war, and peace
An introductory essay which now
seems unfair to the Serb position, explores the causes, development and consequences
of the violence in Serbia and Kosovo.
