From Library Journal
The "bestiality" of what Glenny calls the Third Balkan War "springs the boundaries of moral comprehension," but our understanding of the Yugoslav civil war is aided by these two excellent works of reportage. They convey sensitively, vividly, and fairly completely the roots of this savage conflict. And both books do well what good journalism on the subject should do best: depict the human texture and political insides of Yugoslavia's "terminal crisis." Glenny, a well-known European journalist, presents a rich picture of "the rotten ship of Yugoslavia," tracing the conflict from 1990 to mid-1992. He conveys well aspects of the conflict we hear little of and warns of problems yet to be faced: Kosovo, Macedonia, and Turkish ambitions. British journalist Thompson presents an insightful report, reflecting his travels through Yugoslavia's republics and providing a nuanced exploration of the country's collapse. Unfortunately, his discussion of Macedonia reads as an afterthought, too little for an area that could well set another fire ablaze. Both books are recommended for academic and larger public libraries. See also Branka Magas's The Destruction of Yugoslavia , reviewed below.--Ed.

Kurzbeschreibung
Misha Glenny's acclaimed account of the war in former Yugoslavia contains substantial new material that discusses the end of the five-year conflict and looks ahead to an uneasy future in this turbulent region. Writing in the Evening Standard, Fitzroy Maclean said ‘Misha Glenny’s deeply disturbing book is, to my mind, essential reading for anyone trying to understand, or even just follow, events in what was once Yugoslavia’.

This book was among the first of the now almost countless multitude of books written by reporters, commentators, political analysts, etc. on the collapse of the former Yugoslovia. As such, it became a standard text for many people to "find out what's going on over there." It's not that it's a bad book, many sections are quite informative, but as some of the reviews below note, it assumes readers already have some knowledge of the intricacies of Yugoslav politics and a grasp of the local geography. Also, it's hardly an impartial book (which, given the author's first-hand observance of many events, is understandable), so readers looking for objectivity are better served by other sources. I also agree with the reviewer below who recommends the documentary "Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation"; I recommend the companion book of the same title even more (by Laura Silber and Allan Little)--it's the best short survey of events in Yugoslavia from the late 1980s to ca 1995. However, I have to correct a gross error: CNN's Christiane Amanpour did not make the above documentary, rather the BBC did (Amanpour lacks both the knowledge and skill to produce such an excellent piece of documentary reporting). In conclusion, Glenny's book should be read only to get additional background information and more detail on specific wartime events during the early 1990s.

Glenny's book is THE authoritative work on the civil war in the former Yugoslavia. Having read the book over 5 years ago, I still see some of the things he described in the book as a valuable prediction of the events that are currently taking place in the Balkans. It was Glenny who, writing about Centrex in 1995, anticipated the deep divide in the Republika Srpska leadership that would take place in 1997 (and continue until today) over war profiteering. It was Glenny who, writing about his visit to Kosovo in the early '90s, correctly anticipated the horrific showdown of international proportions that would occur there in the late '90s. And it was Glenny who, writing about FYROM, probably has predicted the next Balkan flashpoint. This book is a definite MUST READ for any person seeking to understand the intricate historical animosities that pervade the Balkans and continue, to date, to influence the lives of the people of Central and Southeastern Europe.

Misha Glenny is an expert on the wars in ex-Jugoslavia. An Englishman, and a speaker of Serbo-croat, Glenny takes his reader through the mess that was the Yugoslav civil war, with eyewitness accounts that display both humanity and at other times extreme brutality. One thing in particular I must commend Glenny on is his refusal to classify the Serbs as the only bad guys, or the only instigators of the war (as much Western media has done). He places blame on various players: Milosevic, Serb paramilitaries, Bosnian politicians, Franjo Tudman and his nationalitic cronies, Germany, etc... This book invokes great sympathy in its readers for all the victims of the war:Muslims, Yugoslavs, Serbs, and Croats. He usually carefully distinguishes between the Serb-dominated Yugoslav Army and the nationalistic Serb new-Chetnik gangs who were the primary brutes involved in civilian atrocities; an important distinction. However, if you do not already have a general knowledge of the region's history, this book may at times be a bit confusing. Although many of his statements on Kosovo are innacurate, I don't find that to be highly relevant to the overall book. Highly recommended!

Maddeningly disjointed and disorienting. I turned to this book as to a celebrated tutor, wanting Glenny to make straight the crooked paths of Yugoslavian history. Lesen Sie weiter...
