Description

The demise of Yugoslavia resulted in a savage internal conflict that confounded European efforts to prevent it. The intense and often instantaneous media coverage has tended to produce a confusing maze of images and impressions. This text aims to present a balanced treatment of the hostilities. Covering the people, places, events, and agreements concerning the recent conflict and its historical roots, this volume should be of interest to the general reader, student, and initial researcher.

Reviews

"Every public and academic library's mission is to help its community's members be informed; this very timely topical encyclopedia is tailor-made for that peaceful mission." - Rettig on Reference (Gale.com) "This encyclopedia is an extremely useful reference source for providing brief summary information on almost any aspect of this tragic conflict." - American Reference Books Annual "...a valuable reference tool ... For academic and larger public libraries." - Library Journal "This detailed reference work effectively traces the history of the Eastern European region and the consequences of the resulting political struggles of its many new independent states ... This reference is recommended for all libraries anticipating the need for detailed information on the continuing struggles in Eastern Europe. As Kosovo is already being called 'another Vietnam' it would be wise to be prepared." - VOYA
