Rezensionen

"The Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s is a well structured and balanced volume that provides the reader with a critically written 'state of the debate' on what The Economist once called the 'Yugomess'. Among its biggest strengths and novelties, if compared with other introductory accounts, is the author's insistence on not only what has been written about particular events, but also how it has been written." (Dora Komnenovic, Croatian Political Science Review, Vol. 53 (4), 2016)
