This book suggests that the Kosovo War was the first of the new virtual wars; conflicts in which the international community involves itself but does so without significant risk or casualties. In describing the events of the war and the extraordinary technical superiority of NATO forces, Ignatieff raises questions about the morality of this virtual involvement, the effect of televised war as a kind of spectator sport, and what will happen when the West's technological advantage is eroded.
