Balkan Inferno : Betrayal, War and Intervention 1990-2005

This book explores whether the US was fomenting and actively supporting revolt in the Balkans long before the Kosovo conflict took place. Wes Johnson grew up in Minnesota and was a USAF aircrew member during the Korean War.

After graduating from university, he entered the CIA's junior officer program in 1962.

During the 1980s, he was assigned to Jerusalem, Kabul, and Athens.

Leaving the agency in 1990, he covered the conflict in ex-Yugoslavia and ongoing tensions between Greece-Cyprus and Turkey as an accredited journalist for Inter Press Service and Middle East International. Balkan Inferno perceptively places the US-led NATO intervention into the Balkans in a larger context, and explains its relationship with the oil and gas reserves of Central Asia.

He also explains why Europe's`back door' is now wide open to drug trafficking and the threat of Islamic radicalism.
