Description
This book is about the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the politics surrounding it. It covers the history of Yugoslavia and the reasons for its disintegration. It also discusses the effects of the war and the aftermath.
Struggling against high odds, Yugoslavia managed to survive from its inception in 1918 until the early 1990s, but now, tragic ethnic and regional conflicts have irrevocably fragmented the country. In this thoroughly revised and updated edition, Lenard Cohen explores the original concept of the "Yugoslav idea," illuminating the major problems, achievements, and failures of the country during its short and troubled history. He concludes by exploring the causes and the horrifying consequences of the civil war, discussing the often impotent international efforts at peacekeeping, and critiquing competing visions of Yugoslavia's future.
