The tributes poured in after Richard Holbrooke’s death on Monday at the age of 69.  His career spanned from the Vietnam War to the current war in Afghanistan but it’s probably true that he will be most remembered for his role in brokering the Dayton Peace Accords for Bosnia.  We’ll take this episode of How We Got Here (#56) to remember him and his work and to look back at the end of the war in Bosnia.
