More Description
This book provides a historic overview of military industrial development in the territories of the Former Yugoslavia.
Within a period of six decades it will see this specialist and highly demanding sector advance from a rudimentary manufacturing base to an advanced producer of modern weapons and equipment.
The war that lasted almost a decade abruptly ended this success story and fed the conflicting sides with ample supplies of arms and ammunition, thus helping prolong the destruction and suffering. The book does not take a deep look at this period, but rather provides a more detailed account of the current situation in what remains of the military industry among the newly independent states. It aims to provide not only a factual representation, but critical analysis and policy options for the decision makers and observers.
