A good read and essential A level text. - By: , 16 Aug 2003
I bought this book as I needed a book on the Balkans for my history coursework. This book was the only text I needed to do the set essays on the region. After using it for this I was interested enough to read the rest of it. Its a well written book, & easy to read- there's enough detail for the interested but not so much you get bogged down in it. I have to admit I did lose track of who was who in some of it- partiallly due to the unfamiliar names I think.
Interested in the Balkans? This book is a "must have"! - By: gavin.hotchin@btinternet.com, 17 Oct 2001
I found this book to be informative & insightful. Glenny doesn't pull any punches & deals with the history of the region in an even handed way. This is a well & clearly written book & will help anyone looking for infomation regarding the history & politics of the region to be well informed.
