Europe and War in the Balkans: Toward a New Yugoslav Identity
Editorial Reviews
Review
“... a historical review that begins with the historical legacy and continues through WW II.”–
“...Rezun's objectivity comes out most clearly in the fundamental approach he takes to the subject: the presentation of a mostly straightfoward history of the region from ancient to modern times...Rezun nicely lays out the contridictions of modern Europe...there are good discussions of familiar topics like television instant news on foreign nations and the dilemma of how or whether foriegners might intervene in Bosnia...He then presents a fascinating analysis of the smear campaign waged by some elements in the Bosnian government against General Lewis MacKenzie...as an example of deliberate political misinformation....Rezun's book can be recommended as a useful historical survey and reference work of a difficult subject.”–
Book Description
One of the salient features of this study is the extent of German complicity in the unfolding events that destroyed Yugoslavia. Rezun emphasizes the roles of history, psychology, culture, religion, and pure economics that are at play here. The book focuses on the Serb-Croat conflict and how that conflict permeates the other regions. Rezun demonstrates that the story of this civil war has been grossly misreported by the popular media and that the crisis in Yugoslavia could be a prelude to the eventual destruction of the Balkans and the entire European order.
