As a reporter for The New York Times from 1990 to 1996, Chuck Sudetic covered the violent dismemberment of Tito’s Yugoslavia, the transition from communism in Albania, Bulgaria, and Romania, the Kurdish refugee crisis in Iraq and eastern Turkey, and crime in New York City. His first book, Blood and Vengeance (Norton, 1998, and Penguin, 1999), chronicled the experiences of two Bosnian families—one Muslim, one Serb—during the tumultuous century ending with the 1995 Srebrenica massacre and became a New York Times Notable Book and a “Book of the Year” by The Economist, the Washington Post, and Publishers Weekly. He coauthored La Caccia (Feltrinelli, 2008), the controversial memoirs of the Swiss war-crimes prosecutor, Carla Del Ponte, whose revelations led to two international investigations into kidnappings, murders, and human organ harvesting after the NATO bombing campaign against Serbia in 1999. Sudetic has written for The Economist, Atlantic Monthly, Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, Das Magazin (Zurich), Transitions (Prague), and other periodicals. He studied English, journalism, and Slavic languages at The Ohio State University, Indiana University, Cleveland State University, and Davidson College and, during 1984-1985, was a Fulbright Scholar in Yugoslavia. He has worked as an analyst for the International Crisis Group, the International Rescue Committee, and the United Nations war-crimes tribunal for Yugoslavia, and as a writer for the Open Society Foundations of George Soros, with whom he coauthored The Philanthropy of George Soros: Building Open Societies (Public Affairs, 2011). For a series of country studies prepared by the United States Library of Congress’s Federal Research Division, he wrote book chapters on the histories, economies, and societies of Hungary, Albania, Romania, and Yugoslavia. He is coauthoring a book on the military campaign that the Tuđman regime in Croatia waged between 1992 and 1994 to dismember Bosnia and Herzegovina.
