Ratko Mladic: Tragic Hero

Ratko Mladic, known as the Butcher of Bosnia, was portrayed by some as a hero.  This is the first book-length study to appear in English about the controversial Serbian general. It departs radically from mainstream news coverage of General Mladic because it presumes him to be innocent of charges of war crimes and genocide until he has been proven guilty; his "genocide" verdict was upheld on June 08, 2021.
