Written with a thrilling narrative pull, The Butcher's Trail chronicles the pursuit and capture of the Balkan war criminals indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague. Borger recounts how Radovan Karadžic and Ratko Mladic - both now on trial in The Hague - were finally tracked down and describes the intrigue behind the arrest of Slobodan Milosevic, the Yugoslav president who became the first head of state to stand before an international tribunal for crimes perpetrated in a time of war.

Eighty-three years later, Guardian's Pulitzer prize-winning World Affairs Editor Julian Borger found the intelligent boy was his father, Robert. This led to an investigation to retrace the lives of his family members, and in doing so excavating secrets of the past.
