Allan Little has been a correspondent with BBC radio and television news since 1988 and has covered the wars in the former Yugoslavia since the fighting erupted in the summer of 1991. He has reported from most theatres of conflict in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina and has won widespread praise for his compassionate accounts of the war, and those caught up in it. His consistently perceptive reporting has laid bare the dynamics both of the war itself and of the failure of international efforts to end it.
