What I have been reading lately #11


This week I have been reading Stacy Sullivan's Be Not Afraid For You Have Sons in America: How a Brooklyn Roofer Helped Lure the U.S. into the Kosovo War. This book focuses on Albanian-American supporters of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and the efforts they took to help supply, arm, and train the KLA. I am not sure, but the KLA may be the first guerrilla army outfitted from U.S. gun shows, army surplus stores, and Radio Shack.
