LOOKING EVIL IN THE EYE

By David L. Phillips

Radovan Karadzic threatened to kill me. "One night you'll wake up to feel cold steel on your throat," he warned. "I'll slit your throat and kill your children too."

It was August 18, 1992. We were at the Victoria Conference Center in London where world leaders had gathered to address the emergency in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
