The violent chaos and human tragedies in Bosnia and Kosovo commonly have been attributed to "centuries old religious and ethnic hatreds", "the legacy of Islamic Ottoman domination", "communist dictatorial traditions", "new nationalism" and "economic inequalities". This volume dispels such explanations as either historical or misleading generalities. By surveying the history of human group identity in the Balkans within the context of political cultures created by three civilizations - Orthodox Eastern European, Islamic, and Western European - during the past 15 centuries, Dennis Hupchick demonstrates that the roots of the turmoil lie in the historically recent disruptive impact of Western nationalist concepts on two traditionally national civilized societies.

This book contains 50 colour, full-page maps and extensive explanatory text to explore this often complicated and war-torn history.

The tragedies of Bosnia and Kosovo are often explained away as the unchangeable legacy of "centuries-old hatreds". In this detailed and balanced chronicle of the Balkans across 15 centuries, Dennis Hupchick seeks to set a complicated record straight. Organized around the three great civilizations of the region Western European, Orthodox Christian and Muslim - this is a guide to the political, social cultural and religious threads of Balkan history, with a clear account of the reasons for nationalist violence and terror.
