Letter: M&S has 'not broken any law' regarding Serbia
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.IF MY book (A Paper House, reviewed 12 July) 'performs a useful service' by 'reminding us' that Croatia's government contributed to causing 'the civil war there', then it is a service I regret. Last year's assault on Croatia by Serbia and the Yugoslav Army, in which a minority of Croatian Serbs served as a fifth column, was not truly a civil war at all.
It is dismal at this late date to have to reiterate these basic facts; but without knowing them, it is impossible to understand Europe's worst war and humanitarian crisis since Nazism.
