The documents leave no doubt that Johnson was being strongly urged by his subordinates to authorize such strikes on more than a tit-for-tat reprisal basis and that aircraft had been positioned to do so since before the Tonkin clash.

But the book is not concerned with contemporary events. It re-creates the clash between Serbian and Moslem in Djilas' native Montenegro in the late 19th century. Djilas lost much of his own family in this incessant warfare; he grew up on legends of heroism and endurance...
