About this product

Product Information

In this epic survey of two centuries of history, Misha Glenny - Britain's most distinguished commentator on the Balkans - gives general readers what they have long needed: a single narrative that explains the background to the terrible events on our television screens. No other book covers the entire Balkan region and offers such interesting insights into the roots of its reputation for violence, or explains so vividly the origins of modern Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Greece, Bulgaria and Albania. 'An endeavor which deserves extraordinary admiration and as yet has no rival.' Guardian 'This was an enormously ambitious book to undertake, but it is the book which Europe and America need.Glenny is a gifted writer. He has a novelist's eye.' Neal Ascherson, Observer 'Compelling reading.Glenny's book should be required reading for all those wishing to know what has gone wrong in the region.' Irish Times 'Its great strengths are evocation, fascinating detail and narrative sweep.a great achievement.' Timothy Garton Ash, The Mail on Sunday
