This book traces Radovan Karadzic's transformation from an unremarkable family man to the leader of the Bosnian Serb nationalists. Based on previously unused documents and trial tranillegalscripts, it argues that postcommunist democracy enabled mass atrocities because it provided the means to mobilize large numbers of Bosnian Serbs for the campaign to eliminate non-Serbs from conquered land.
