Yugoslavia's collapse into war, told through the politicians and generals who made the decisions that mattered. Produced by the BBC and broadcast in 1995, the series draws on interviews with figures including Slobodan Milosevic, Franjo Tudjman, Radovan Karadzic, and the diplomats who tried and failed to hold the federation together, paired with archival footage of the Yugoslav Wars as they unfolded. The narrative moves from Tito's death and the rise of nationalist politics in Serbia and Croatia through the breakup itself: the declarations of independence by Slovenia and Croatia, the siege of Sarajevo, and the descent into ethnic conflict in Bosnia. Rather than treating the war as chaos, the series builds a case that specific leaders made specific choices, tracing decisions in Belgrade and Zagreb back to the negotiating rooms where they were argued over. Based on reporting later expanded into the book by Allan Little and Laura Silber, it remains a primary account built from people who were in the room when Yugoslavia came apart.
