Abstract
When Holbrooke and his team landed in Belgrade on August 30, they braced themselves for a bitter greeting. But to their surprise, Milosevic did not angrily rebuke them for the fact that NATO bombs were pounding his allies—in fact, his reaction was quite the opposite.

Instead, he began the meeting with some kind words for the three fallen American diplomats, speaking with particular sincerity about Bob Frasure.
