Book Reviews of The Fall of Yugoslavia
Book Review: A great look at the Yugoslav conflict.
Summary: 5 Stars
Personally, I think that Misha Glenny is one of the best writers on the Balkans. I have spent three years living in the Balkans so I know something about the area. I highly recommend reading his work The Balkans first as it gives great insight into the region. However, if you are only interested in the war than this work can certainly stand alone. The book chronicles events from August 1990 to June 1993. In addition, an epilogue was added in 1996. While it does not cover the most recent aftermath for the time it covers the book is excellent.
Glenny obviously understands the Balkan mentality and adroitly discusses many of the errors that the international community made in dealing with the conflict. In addition, he made some accurate predictions and warnings. In particular he discusses his concern about Macedonia in the epilogue written in 1996. Fighting broke out briefly in 2001 and security remains an issue. Glenny's experience as a correspondent for the BBC gave him the opportunity to interview all the most important players and his writing makes his work accessible to the larger populace. This is the best book on the war.
