- catalog abstract ""In a passionate survey of Balkan history since the early nineteenth century, Misha Glenny provides the essential background to recent terrible events in this war-torn area." "He interweaves a narrative of key events with the story of international affairs - the relations between states in the Balkans, and between them and the great powers." "It is the latter relationship that lies at the heart of this book. Glenny shows how great-power interference in the region has been catastrophic for the peoples of the Balkans, and how so-called 'ancient hatreds' and 'tribal rivalries' have often been intensified by ignorant diplomants in far-away capitals, creating states, allocating populations and redrawing borders - with deadly results."--BOOK JACKET.".
