The media announced that this was to be "the > trial of the century." > > But once President Milosevic announced his intention to rebut his accusers by charging them with conspiracy > and war crimes--the cameras and newspapers fell silent. The trial of Slobodan Milosevic dragged on for > two years--*in silence and neglect *as the NATO-appointed prosecution presented their case. Again > and again, defense motions were overruled and struck down. > > Finally on August 31, 2004 President Milosevic was able to present the rebuttal to the prosecution's > charges and put forward Yugoslavia's defense. He challenged the status and legality of the > International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia. His clear, documented, well-reasoned two-day opening > talk in the defense portion of the trial is *a presentation of historic importance*. > > Have you read one news article summarizing his rebuttal? Have you ever seen it quoted? Do you know > how President Milosevic defended the Serbian people and all the people of the Balkans? Have you or anyone > you know read his stinging expose of NATO's role? If you believe in free speech, don't you think President > Milosevic's defense of Serbia should be available in every library and widely available on the internet and > to journalists internationally? > > *Unfortunately free speech isn't free.* This historic speech, its defense of Serbia and the expose of NATO > criminal conspiracy will only be known if we take active steps to make it widely available. We feel that > it is a moral imperative to insure that the powers that bombed, sanctioned and profited from the war are > not the only forces who write the history of this war. > > > We are proud to announce that the International Action Center this summer will publish President Milosevic's > rebuttal in a 150-page book entitled *The Defense Speaks - for History and the Future*. A great deal of > preparation has gone into this book already. We felt that it was essential to go back to President > Milosevic's speech which was given in Serbian and correct the rather awkward, stilted English version > made by Croatian and Bosnian translators employed by the Hague Tribunal with a more accurate and readable > translation. Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark is preparing a lengthy introduction that reviews the > political nature of the Tribunal established by the U.S. > > The International Action Center has published *four other major books exposing the U.S. role in the wars,* > sanctions and devastation of the region. In 1998 we published and twice reprinted NATO in the Balkans and > in 1999 we published, War, Lies and Videotape: How Media Monopoly Stifles Truth. In 2002 we were proud to > publish Hidden Agenda: U.S./NATO Takeover of Yugoslavia and the English translation of Michel > Collon's Liar's Poker: The Great Powers, Yugoslavia and the Wars of the Future. Now IPG, a major national > academic distributor, has made these well-researched and documented books available in libraries, > bookstores and university courses. > > These four books are a unique contribution to understanding the censored and suppressed history of > the past fifteen years. *Each book was possible because people of conscience gave donations that covered all > of the publication costs.* > > Today the whole world knows that the U.S. war in Iraq was based on a U.S. lie about Iraq's weapons of mass > destruction. The bombing of Yugoslavia was also based on a lie about mass graves. Just as the weapons of > mass destruction were never found in Iraq, the mass graves in Kosovo were never found.
