Description
The Balkans, 1804-2012: A History of Nationalism, War and Great Powers Misha Glenny's landmark history of the Balkans challenges our understanding of this complex region by revealing unexpected alliances between long-time enemies. Through a sweeping narrative that spans over two centuries, Glenny exposes the often-catastrophic relationship between the Balkans and Europe, raising profound questions about Western intervention. Updated to cover recent conflicts in Kosovo and Macedonia, as well as the surge of organised crime and Turkey's growing influence, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the region's tumultuous past. With its unique perspective on one of Europe's most misunderstood regions, The Balkans is a worthwhile read for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of the south-eastern edge of Europe.
