Description: Since the collapse of Eastern European communism the Balkans have been more prominent in world affairs than at any time since before the First World War. Crises in the area have led NATO to fire its first ever shots in anger whilst international forces have been deployed on a scale and in a manner unprecedented in Europe since World War Two. An understanding of why this happened is impossible without some knowledge of the history of the area before the fall of communism of how the communists came to power and how they used their authority thereafter. Covering the communist states of Albania Bulgaria Romania and Yugoslavia and including Greece Richard Crampton provides a highly readable introduction to that history one that will be read by journalists diplomats and anyone interested in the region and its impact on world politics today.
