A good read and essential A level text.August 16, 2003 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
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, and 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- partially due to the unfamiliar names I think.

I found this book to be informative and insightful. Glenny doesn't pull any punches and deals with the history of the region in an even handed way. This is a well and clearly written book and will help anyone looking for infomation regarding the history and politics of the region to be well informed.
