Fees: £ 15.00 – £ 18.00 Lecture by Dr Martin Holmes Proclaiming a doctrine of humanitarian intervention in speeches in Warsaw and Chicago, Tony Blair supported military action alongside European and American allies to defeat Serbian forces in the 1999 Kosovo conflict. But did this success lead him to underestimate the risks of intervention in Iraq in 2003? As some biographers argue, 'the road to Baghdad ran through Pristina.' Did Blair align too closely with President George W. Bush, subordinating UK interests to those of the United States?
