The Fall of Milosevic: The October 5th Revolution
by Ivan Radovanovic & Dragan Bujosevic

Told for the first time, the riveting story of how common people-miners, cooks, former soldiers-shook off the intimidation of Serbian strongman Slobadan Milosevic and overthrew, peacefully, his tyrannical regime. Based on numerous interviews with participants, from the man in the street to top officials in the Serbian regime, The Fall of Milosevic recounts the exhilaration, fear and chaos of a population rising in opposition to a tyrant, the "Butcher of the Balkans." As the people gather in protest, behind the scenes the pillars of Milosevic's regime crumble as politicians, military officers, and the police desert a leader no longer legitimate in the eyes of the people. This is the story of individuals facing down fear and rising up for democracy.

"The Fall of Milosevic gives a vivid, first-person account of the remarkable events--a mix of careful planning, courage, and luck on the part of the demonstrators, together with defections by police and military--that finally brought down Milosevic's hated rule. This minute-by-minute narrative gives the reader an uncanny sense of what it was like to be on the street with the demonstrators, their confusion and elation, missing only the whiff of tear gas. "
--Louis Sell, retired US diplomat

"Gripping, inside stuff....fascinating. "
--The Economist
