Picador, 2005. Soft cover. Very Good. Octavo, softcover, pages beginning to tan and notes on back endpapers else VG in orange pictorial wraps. 307 pp. including index. From the assassination that triggered World War I to the ethnic warfare in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia, the Balkans have been the crucible of the twentieth century, the place where terrorism and genocide first became tools of policy. Kaplan's prescient, enthralling, and often chilling political travelogue is a modern classic.
