Seeking to escape the monotony he had come to endure in his job as assistant District Attorney in San Francisco, Philip Kearney needed a change. His solution came one day in a casual email from a friend: U.N. has opening here for an international prosecutor doing war crimes stuff. You should apply, gotta go.Here meant Pristina, Kosovo. And stuff Kearney soon finds out, after landing the job despite his inexperience with international law and an inability to speak any foreign languages meant a harrowing string of investigations involving the most brutal and devastating crimes imaginable. Abruptly removed from the comforts of home and the order and stability of Americas justice system, Kearney finds himself the sole international prosecutor assigned to a region of nearly one million people. Welcome to the Balkans circa 2001.Kearney is thrown headlong into a series of historic investigations that quickly land him under the protection of four armed security guards. Armed himself with only the regions archaic criminal justice code, Kearney is soon prosecuting local street thugs, shutting down a ring of international sextraffickers and spearheading an investigation into secret death camps a case that ultimately implicates local officials and inflames ethnic violence. He developed an urgent passion, stemming from devastating stories of torture, murder and slavery that dominate Kosovos bleak landscape.Under the Blue Flag, reads like an international legal thriller as Kearney and his colleagues are shuttled in armored vehicles between yearsold crime scenes and the makeshift courtrooms where Kosovos fledgling legal system is tested daily. In the face of almost insurmountable obstacles witness intimidation, corrupt law enforcement and deep ethnic biases the truth is slowly revealed and with it emerges a cast of conflictweary locals and displaced internationals, many of whom come to represent the wars most courageous and unheralded heroes. Under The Blue Flag is a passionate and eyeopening look at a postwar Kosovo that continues to straddle the stubborn gap between a past corrupted by violence and injustice and a future governed by the rule of law.
