Features: The author Martti Ahtisaari was serving as the President of the Republic of Finland at the time. In this war, he frequently traveled between Helsinki, Moscow, Bonn, Belgrade, etc. as the EU Special Envoy, engaging in repeated consultations with then U.S. Deputy Secretary of State (Tarblot), Russian President's Special Envoyノル (Chernomyrdin), and President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslaviaロ??? (Milosevic) and other political figures, ultimately leading to the achievement of a ceasefire. The author, as a Western official, naturally completed his special mission from a Western perspective, which also serves as the basis for writing this memoir. The author's account of the pre-war situation in Yugoslavia, his evaluation of the leaders of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, as well as his views on NATO bombing and the issues of human rights and sovereignty, etc., largely draw from the coverage and perspectives of Western media, many of which differ from our understanding or are things we cannot accept. However, the author detailed the process of fulfilling his special mission, revealing many previously unknown inside stories, and highlighting the complex and subtle relationships between the U.S., Russia, the EU, the UN, and other parties during the changing world order. This provides significant reference value for us to understand the entire course of events and objectively evaluate this period of history.
