This is an excellent book about the history of the Balkans and the current (as of late 80s) state of the Balkans. Lots of interesting stuff about a land that not many Americans know anything about. Kaplan has written many other good books including "Imperial Grunts" and "The Coming Anarchy".

Excellent, clearly written history of one of the most violent and divisive areas of the world. It certainly makes it easy to understand why peace in that region is so difficult to attain.
