The Death of YugoslaviaThis is a survey of the pressures and events that contributed to the break-up of former Yugoslavia - considered from a historical rather than a political or sociological point of view. The book accompanies a six-part series on BBC2, screened in 1995. This edition has one extra chapter that takes the narrative up to the Dayton Accord. |
