About This Item
NY: St. Martin's Press, 1993. 7th Printing. Soft cover. Very Good/Unknown. Octavo, softcover, small stain on cover margin, else interior VG. This was a time-capsule world, a dim stage upon which people raged, spilled blood, experienced visions and ecstasies. Yet their expressions remained fixed and distant, like dusty statuary. 307 pp. including index. A timely work on the Balkans. The people of these 5 alienated countries do form an unhappy whole, illuminating the ethnic clashes and near-anarchic politics.
Synopsis
A pessimistic overview of the history of the Balkans, from the beginning of World War I to the ethnic warfare of the 1990s, the Balkans have been rocked with poverty, struggle, and political dissent. This political travelogue focuses on the trouble in the Balkans, specifically the depravities of human nature; religious and cultural cleansing, genocide, and massive corruption.
