Book Description:
|
Unrest in the Balkans has gone on for centuries. Winchester visited the region 20 years ago. When Kosovo reached crisis level in 1997, Winchester thought a return visit to the beleaguered area would help to make sense out of the dreadful violence. He decided to use Vienna and Istanbul, two great cities whose rivalries helped to create the dynamics at work today. Not specifically a book about war, it is more a portrait of it's people and their turmoil.
