Description
The Albanians: A Modern History by Miranda Vickers This comprehensive history of Albania provides a detailed account of the country's transformation from a communist state to a modern democracy. The book explores the complex relationships between Albania and its neighbors, including the Soviet Union and China, as well as its tumultuous past under the leadership of Enver Hoxha. Miranda Vickers delves into the country's gradual process of reform, including the events leading up to Sali Berisha's resignation as president, and examines the fragility of Albania's experiment with democracy. The book also covers the fight for independence in Kosovo and Albania's application to join the EU, providing a nuanced understanding of the country's current political landscape. First published in 2019, this paperback edition has been revised to reflect the latest developments in Albania's history, offering a fresh perspective on a country that has undergone significant changes in recent years.
