Bosnia

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
