Chuck Sudetic is a former writer and journalist from the United States whose work focused mainly on the lands and peoples of the now defunct country of Yugoslavia.
He authored Blood and Vengeance (Norton, 1998, and Penguin, 1999), a chronicle of a Bosnian family's experiences during the turbulence of the 20th century that ended with the act of genocide committed at Srebrenica in 1995.
[18] Sudetic coauthored La Caccia (Feltrinelli, 2008, released in English as Madame Prosecutor by Other Press in 2009), the memoirs of the Swiss war-crimes prosecutor, Carla Del Ponte, whose controversial revelations led to two successful international criminal investigations and the establishment of a special court to try individuals indicted on charges involving allegations of hundreds of kidnappings and murders, including alleged instances of murder linked with human organ harvesting, in Kosovo and Albania during the months after the NATO bombing campaign against Serbia in 1999.
[19][20][21] Sudetic worked as a contributing editor to Rolling Stone[22] and published articles in The Atlantic Monthly, The Economist, politico.eu,[23][24] Mother Jones (on the effects of the United Nations sanctions against Iraq under Saddam Hussein),[25] The Washington Post, Das Magazin (Zurich), Transitions (Prague), The Independent (London), and other periodicals.
[26] 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,[27] Albania, Romania,[28] and Yugoslavia.
