More about the book
" 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 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.
