"A good introduction to the incredibly complex and confusing history of the Balkans. But it really is just a starter at less than 125 pages. It whet my appetite to learn more but I probably couldn't have handled a longer history without knowing these basics first."

    " good cursory intro to Balkan History, but somewhat all over the place, and too much material for such a short overview... jumbled and superficial at worst. "

    " No dates and no histories of individual countries. But an easy-to-grasp description of historical processes in the Balkans. "

    " The author illuminates the history of "turkey in europe" giving a glimpse of how empires, nationalism, and modernity have shaped this region. I found it of particular interest as to how people's identities were affected by these as well. "

    " Excellent concise history covering some 500 years of history in little more than 140 pages. Very well written. I look forward to reading more by Mr Mazower. "

    " Well done history of the Balkans--it covers the history of their religion, military, culture, economics, politics and geography. I would like to read it again now that I have been there. It gives the historical roots to the conflicts in the area. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " A thoughtful look at a complex region, and one that the media frequently gets wrong. It's pretty short, and you may see that as a positive or a negative, because it's not a totally comprehensive history, but it is a book I would recommend. "

    " It's definitely an interesting story, but not for those who haven't heard the word balkan before. No way this is an introduction to the balkan history. More like an objective and open minded scope. "
