Synopsis:
Bosnia: A Short History was celebrated on its first publication as a brilliant work of history which set the terrible war in the Balkans in its full historical and political context. This revised edition has been updated with a new chapter that covers the events of 1993-1995 and remains the definitive work on the complex history of Bosnia.
`A quite brilliant piece of historical record-straightening. Everyone who wishes to have an opinion about Bosnia must read this book.` Niall Ferguson, Daily Mail
`Clear-sighted, authoritative and eloquent.` Dimitri Obolensky, Times Literary Supplement
`A Triumph of clarity, learning and balance.` Adrian Hastings, New Statesman and Society
`Excellent.` Paddy Ashdown, Sunday Times
`This is a splendid work of synthesis on a very complex subject, written with insight and sympathy: the best, indeed the only, informed book on a history that has become both topical and tragic.` Hugh Trevor-Roper, Sunday Telegraph
`A marvellous book, a work of great scholarship.` Margaret Thatcher
From the Back Cover: This updated edition of Noel Malcolm's highly acclaimed Bosnia: A Short History provides the reader with the most comprehensive narrative history of Bosnia in the English language. Malcolm examines the different religious and ethnic inhabitants of Bosnia, a land of vast cultural upheaval where the empires of Rome, Charlemagne, the Ottomans, and the Austro-Hungarians overlapped. This expanded edition of Bosnia includes a new epilogue by the author examining the failed Vance-Owen peace plan, the tenuous resolution of the Dayton Accords, and the efforts of the United Nations to keep the uneasy peace.
