Journalist Tim Judah`s classic account, now brought fully up to date to include the overthrow of Milosevic, the assassination of Zoran Djindic, the breakaway of Kosovo, & the arrest of Radovan Karadzic. Praise for the first edition: ”A lively & balanced history of the Serbs.”-Aleksa Djilas, New York Times Book Review ” Judah writes splendidly... The story he tells does much to explain both the Serb obsession with the treachery of outsiders & their quasi-religious faith in the eventual founding, or rather reestablishment, of the Serbian state.”-Mark Danner, New York Review of Books ” Judah`s book is probably the best attempt to date to explain the calamitous situation of the Serbs today through a meticulous consideration of the Serb past.”-David Rieff, Toronto Globe & Mail Tim Judah was Balkans correspondent for the London Times & the Economist, & has been a frequent contributor The New York Review of Books.
