Product Description

This history of the Serbs opens with the medieval kings of Serbia and a battle lost six centuries ago that still profoundly influences the Serbs. It then describes the idea of "Serbdom" and examines the tenuous ethnic balance fashioned by Tito and its drastic unravelling after his death.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT, 14 Aug 2004

By	darkone1uk "darkone1uk" (London) - See all my reviews

Very good, very balanced account - I've had a dubious honour of witnessing most of the key events leading up to the War and I am impressed by the accuracy of the account; I only wish TV journalists were half as unbiased in their reporting while it actually mattered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and well-balanced cover of a complicated conflict, 22 April 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Serbs: History, Myth and the Destruction of Yugoslavia (Hardcover)

Compared to so many other books on the recent history of Yugoslavia Judah's book is insightful and engaging. Of the many books I have read on this topic in recent years this is by far one of the best. It is also refreshingly free from the prejudices to which many other authors fall. Oskar Lindstr�m

4.0 out of 5 stars Accurate facts, abit disjointed in places, 11 Feb 2004

By	RM (London Colney, HE UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I found Tim Judah's book to be quite well-balanced, although some may argue that the front cover is clearly biased against Serbs (photo shows Muslim prisoners blind-folded and being taken by Serbs for execution near Mount Ozren). While Judah's book contains many detailed and accurate facts about the history of the Serbs, there are times where his style becomes abit confused.

For example, he would sometimes jump from describing the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia during 1992 by the Bosnian Serb army and for no apparent reason, go back about 500 years in history and start describing the medieval Serbian kingdom. I do think that Judah has maybe tried too hard to squash 1,300 years of Serb history in the Balkans into just one volume of under 400 pages. Nevertheless, one of the better books on Serbian history.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit ambitious
Interesting and certainly a counter balance to the plethora of biased and one sided views of the recent Balkan conflict. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars useful read on serbian history and recent events
Cover text is appalling and does not reflect a reasonably balanced and researched content. However, I still find accounts of events leading to the recent conflict too... Read more
