Taylor, Scott Inat Images of Serbia and the Kosovo Conflict Esprit De Corps 2000 189589610X / 9781895896107 Paperback Very Good with no dust jacket Signed by Author 0.4 x 8.8 x 5.9 Inches; 160 pages; For 25 days in May and June 1999, Scott Taylor reported on the NATO air campaign from inside Yugoslavia. As one of the few western journalists to be granted such access, Taylor was able to gain a unique perspective to the Kosovo conflict -- the Serbian side. He returned in November 1999 to do a follow-up study on the war's aftermath. Through Taylor's observations, INAT covers the zenith of the NATO air raids: the on-again, off-again peace talks, Russia's sudden race into Kosovo, the NATO (KFOR) deployment, the retreat of the Yugoslav Army, the flight of the Serbian refugees, and the bitter aftermath of the war on a bomb-ravaged Serbia. Inat is a Serbian noun which does not directly translate into English, but roughly means "regardless of the consequences." Far from being just a simple word, inat is best described as a spirit which is embodied in the psyche of the Serbian people.; Signed by Author

Taylor, Scott Tested Mettle Canada's Peacekeepers at War Esprit De Corps Books 1999 1895896088 / 9781895896084 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket 1.1 x 8.9 x 5.7 Inches; 264 pages; The untold story of the Canadian Army's fight for survival on two fronts: the volatile bullet-riddled war zones of the world and the equally treacherous political battleground here at home. Tested Mettle takes over where the controversial bestseller "Tarnished Brass" left off. "Esprit de Corps" magazine publisher, Scott Taylor, and veteran journalist, Brian Nolan, document the heroic story of Canada's UN peacekeepers serving in war-ravaged former Yugoslavia and around the world. The authors recount the dangerous physical obstacles these soldiers face each day and the psychological torment they experience, leaving many of them scarred for life. Readers will be shocked to learn of the deprivations and daily hardships faced by the troops, who frequently are sent to dangerous foreign fields with obsolete and outdated equipment. The top brass, meanwhile, has wasted hundreds of thousands of taxpayers' dollars on their own lavish farewell parties and personal aggrandizement. Taylor and Nolan also expose the workings of the elite and secretive Joint Task Force II, whose mysterious and Rambo-like assignments are known only to the highest orders of government and the high command. Tested Mettle will leave Canadians proud of their courageous peacemakers and outraged by a corrupt Defence Department.
