Nevertheless an important overview of the Balkan conflict during the ‘90s. Hard not to see the parallels between the Nationalism of that conflict and the one unfortunately simmering in our country today. ( ) The BBC's Central European correspondent provides this memoir of the first stage of the "Third Balkan War." Or, if you prefer, the collapse of the federal Yugoslav state. You do need a scorecard to keep the players straight in this account -- no doubt the participants did, as well. Glenny does a pretty good job of showing how things went rapidly to hell; again, it's the sheer confusion of the narrative that may give you pause. It also doesn't tell the full story, because of course the book cuts off at the point when the BBC pulled him from the area. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Vigorous, passionate, humane, and extremely readable. . . For an account of what has actually happened. . . Glenny's book so far stands unparalleled."--The New Republic The fall of Yugoslavia tells the whole, true story of the Balkan Crisis--and the ensuing war--for those around the world who have watched the battle unfold with a mixture of horror, dread, and confusion. When Croatia and Slovenia declared their independence in June 1991, peaceful neighbors of four decades took up arms against each other once again and a savage war flared in the Balkans. The underlying causes go back to business left unfinished by both the Second and First World Wars. In this acclaimed book, now revised and updated with a new chapter on the Dayton Accords and the subsequent U.S. involvement, Misha Glenny offers a sobering eyewitness chronicle of the events that rekindled the violent conflict, a lucid and impartial analysis of the politics behind them, and incisive portraits of the main personalities involved. Above all, he shows us the human realities behind the headlines, and puts in its true, historical context one of the most ferocious civil wars of our time. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
