Description
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 20th century, the place where terrorism and genocide first became tools of policy. Chosen as one of the Best Books of the Year by the New York Times, and greeted with critical acclaim as "the most insightful and timely work on the Balkans to date" (The Boston Globe), Kaplan's prescient, enthralling, and often chilling political travelogue is already a modern classic.
This new edition of Balkan Ghosts includes six opinion pieces written by Robert Kaplan about the Balkans between 1996 and 2000 beginning just after the implementation of the Dayton Peace Accords and ending after the conclusion of the Kosovo War, with the removal of Slobodan Milosevic from power.

A fantastic audiobook
I’ve heard many audiobooks so far, but there was never one with such a perfect marriage between insightful writing and passionate narrating. I don’t know if I’m choosing next a book by the author, or a book read by the narrator!
This is a superb book on the Balkans. What I enjoyed the most was how the snippets of personal stories and anecdotes in the different countries illuminate their history and culture. The author is great in drawing a distinction between how outsiders (westerners) would interpret a situation, and what the situation really looks like from the perspective of the locals. I will have to follow up with another book to have a more detailed historic account of the different countries covered in this book, but I will start with an excellent overview of the different peoples and sentiments of the broader region.
Highly recommended!!
