Kurzbeschreibung
"The most authoritative account in English or any other language about how the war began."—The Washington Post Book World. "An essential resource for anyone of the conflict."—The New York Times Book Review.
Synopsis
The continuing war in the former Yugoslavia is the most violent and costly conflict that Europe has seen since 1945. This book sets out to identify and reconstruct the pivotal events in both the path to war, and the war itself. It also aims to capture the particular atmosphere and flavour of the war, discussing topics such as the use of terror as a weapon of war, the criminalization of society, and the struggle between legitimate authorities against powerful militias and mafiosi. Containing first-person, eyewitness accounts by the war's participants - citizens, soldiers, politicians - the book provides an analytical narrative of how and why the conflict began, and an historical treatment of events. It supports the opinion that culpability lies with individuals and parties, rather than with "historical forces", and the focus is therefore on individuals and their systematic pursuit of territorial conquest.

Extremely detailed/comprehensive review of Yugoslav breakup,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation (Taschenbuch)
I became involved in the Bosnian crisis in a professional capacity as an intelligence analyst and briefing officer at the headquarters, U.S. European command, and served in Sarajevo with the initial NATO Peace Implementation Force (IFOR). I have been studying and following the history of this area and events in Bosnia ever since. I am familiar with many of the events in the crisis and personalities involved, and found this to be an outstanding summary of the process of the disintegration of Yugoslavia. The portion of the book covering the rise of Milosevic and the departure from Yugoslavia of Slovenia is particularly well done. The coverage of the Bosnian war is a bit cursory, and takes the perspective of the conventional wisdom of the international journalistic community. I know from talking to UNPROFOR officers and others who were there that the Muslims were not totally innocent victims and the Serbs universally evil monsters. With that small caveat, I would strongly recommend this book to anyone trying to understand the entire Yugoslav crisis. It is meticulously researched and documented. Anyone trying to understand what is happening in Kosovo right now would be well advised to read this book.

Comprehensive and a page-turner,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation (Taschenbuch)
Thorough and very readable. A good choice for the heretofore uninitiated. I would like to point out that the reader from Canada (below) misses the point of the title. It's a play on the word "nation," which in American English can be 100% synonymous with "state" besides referring to a people. The "nation" in the title is not only the state of Yugoslavia, but also suggests Tito's abortive attempt to forge a new, distinct "Yugoslav" ethnic identity. In other words, the collapse of Yugoslavia destroyed both the "nation" (state) of Yugoslavia and all hope for creating a Yugoslav "national" identity. (Incidentally, the book was retitled for the American market; its original British title was simply "The Death of Yugoslavia.")

An excellent book for anyone interested in Yugoslavia,
Von LordStone1@yahoo.com (San Diego, California) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation (Taschenbuch)
I chose this book for my book report for my AP European History class, and that book report is a big deal.I found this book to be surprising stimulating and very engrossing. It doesn't sound like some boring UCLA professor droning on - it's filled with quotes and interesting stuff and exciting events. And the best thing about this is that there isn't very much bias in this. The authors just say what happened in Belgrade and all around. There's also several helpful aids in this book, like a list of characters, some maps. However, a timeline would have been indispensable. Moreover, identifying where Krajinia was on the map could have helped, too. But overall, this was a great book and I'm very glad I chose this book. The print is a bit small, but that's okay. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the disintegration of a country called Yugoslavia. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen
