Largely a compilation of tourist maps and old NYTimes pieces, 14 July 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Macmillan Atlas of War and Peace: Bosnia Herzegovi Na: with Special Reports by Co: Bosnia Herzegovina (Paperback)
The articles are useful for a view of the early part of the Bosnia war, but the maps are simply taken from pre-war highway touring guide maps of Yugoslavia. They are very general and do not offer a very clear view of the actual Bosnian conflict. This volume is hastily constructed and extremely commercial. A truly careful Atlas, using the widely available census date from the former Yugoslavia, showing the population of each town and section by group, and showing the exact position of the moving inter-ethnic boundaries during the conflict would be invaluable and is still desperately needed. Why the editors did not take advantage of thw extraordinary census information on the public record escapes this reviewer, but it is deeply disappointing. Volumes that do present this vital information are available, but not on the standard U.S. markets.

A Complicated Issue in a Nutshell, 7 Nov 2000
By ANNE MILLER - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Macmillan Atlas of War and Peace: Bosnia Herzegovi Na: with Special Reports by Co: Bosnia Herzegovina (Paperback)
Having been to Bosnia 5 times on humanitarian missions, I found that this book was accurate in explaining the central issues. I have always been interested in the "whys" of genocide, which this article covered in a very mind-provoking way. I am suggesting that all my future trip participants get a copy of this to give them an overview of this extremely complicated part of the world.

Atlas of War & Peace: Bosnia Herzegovina, 10 Mar 2000
By James Koo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Macmillan Atlas of War and Peace: Bosnia Herzegovi Na: with Special Reports by Co: Bosnia Herzegovina (Paperback)
This atlas may be useful for highways. Other readily available atlases and maps duplicate the other cartographic information. The text has to be updated, and the maps are useless for changes after the wars started.
