Bosnia a short History

Edit This
Bosnia: A Short History was celebrated on its first publication as a brilliant work of history which set the terrible war in the Balkans in its full historical and political context. This revised edition has been updated with a new chapter that covers the events of 1993-1995 and remains the definitive work on the complex history of Bosnia. 'A quite brilliant piece of historical record-straightening. Everyone who wishes to have an opinion about Bosnia must read this book.'
Malcolm has fairly successfully managed to cover roughly 1,000 years or so of Bosnia's history. However, as with so many Balkan historians and journalists writing books during the 1990's, the recent war is portrayed simply as being the Serbs out to destroy the Muslims as a people, which is 100% true. "Orthodox Vlachs", or Romanies from Romania became Serbs later on in the minds of Serbian nationalist so called historical experts in order to justify the war of aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina., which is marvelously described by Malcolm. A must read for anyone who wishes to form an opinion about Bosnia and Herzegovina.
