History of the Balkans
Marie-Janine Calic
‘The Balkans produce more history than they can consume.’ - Winston Churchill
The area between the Slovenian Alps, the Black Sea and the Aegean has been shaped by a variety of kingdoms, religions and language groups. This has given rise to a unique ethnic, religious and cultural melting pot. Certain conflicts over states, borders and national identities are unresolved to this day. Renowned Southern Europe expert Marie-Janine Calic gives us an introduction to the fascinating and eventful history of the region and helps us sort the myths and legends from the facts. For we cannot understand the countries of the Balkans without knowing about their history.
