The Balkan Wars: Conquest, Revolution, and Retribution from the Ottoman Era to the Twentieth Century and Beyond
- Synopsis
-
Gerolymatos (Hellenic studies, Simon Fraser U. , Canada) stresses the continuity of war in conflicts arising from myth, portrayals of history, and ethnic conflict. He argues that 500 years of Turkish occupation left the Balkans as lagging far behind the west, leaving them as scarred by ethnic strife as the West once was before it became "modern. " Numerous conflicts from the history of the Balkan states are described as outcomes of this history. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
