Radovan Karadzic was a lying, paranoid, drunken madman - Sir Michael Rose interview


With all the headlines focusing on the bizarre appearance and new life Radovan Karadzic had made for himself, it is worth remembering some of the madness that accompanied the horrors of the Bosnian conflict.


The Daily Mail yesterday carried a fascinating interview with Sir Michael Rose, head of the UN peacekeeping forces in 1994, about his numerous encounters with Karadzic. He comes across as a lying, paranoid drunk who would not move without speaking to his military commander, Ratko Mladic, who, Rose reports, he was probably afraid of. Its well worth a read and can be found here.
