Kniha Tieňohra rozpráva, ako ľahko sa po päťdesiatich rokoch mieru vrátila do Európy krvavá vojna. Rozpad Juhoslávie si vyžiadal približne 140-tisíc obetí a jeho záverečná časť sa odohrala v Kosove.
Tim Marshall bol ako vojnový korešpondent priamym svedkom niekoľkých vojensko-politických konfliktov z druhej polovice dvadsiateho storočia. Ako diplomatický redaktor televíznej stanice Sky News pokrýval spravodajsky aj vojnu v Kosove, bombardovanie Juhoslávie a pád režimu Slobodana Miloševića. Kniha prináša strhujúco vyrozprávaný príbeh, vychádzajúci z autorových osobných skúseností, z jeho priamej prítomnosti na miestach bojov i v priľahlom zázemí, ako aj z rozhovorov s príslušníkmi tajných služieb piatich krajín. Aj po dvadsiatich rokoch od ukončenia vojny v Kosove má zmysel vracať sa k tejto európskej tragédii, najmä ak vieme, že dodnes nie sú všetky rany v regióne zacelené.

Tim Marshall was Diplomatic Editor and foreign correspondent for Sky News. After thirty years' experience in news reporting and presenting, he left full time news journalism to concentrate on writing and analysis.
Originally from Leeds, Tim arrived at broadcasting from the road less traveled. Not a media studies or journalism graduate, in fact not a graduate at all, after a wholly unsuccessful career as a painter and decorator he worked his way through newsroom nightshifts, and unpaid stints as a researcher and runner before eventually securing himself a foothold on the first rung of the broadcasting career ladder.
After three years as IRN's Paris correspondent and extensive work for BBC radio and TV, Tim joined Sky News. Reporting from Europe, the USA and Asia, Tim became Middle East Correspondent based in Jerusalem.
Tim also reported in the field from Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia during the Balkan wars of the 1990s. He spent the majority of the 1999 Kosovo crisis in Belgrade, where he was one of the few western journalists who stayed on to report from one of the main targets of NATO bombing raids. Tim was in Kosovo to greet the NATO troops on the day they advanced into Pristina. In recent years he covered the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria.
He has written for many of the national newspapers including the Times, the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, and the Sunday Times.
