Recensione:
'This elegantly crafted volume by one of the foremost students of the Balkans is an important contribution to both Yugoslav and comparative historiography. The book will engage both scholarly and lay audiences, and can serve as an important text for academic courses.' Andrew C. Janos, University of California, Berkeley
'Lampe provides a wide-ranging, perceptive analysis, which is one of the few to address the problems of inter-war as well as post-war Yugoslavia. It distills complex issues into intelligible and readable prose and, importantly, it illustrates Yugoslavia's strengths as well as its ultimately fatal weaknesses. Lampe's book will be an invaluable asset to all those who have an interest in Yugoslavia's history.' Richard Crampton, University of Oxford
'Lampe has the marvellous capacity to write in such a way that precision and detail in the description of events survive the compression of the historical account which is inevitable in a survey of this kind. ... For both the undergraduate student and the general reader interested in making sense of recent Balkan history, and for the more research-oriented reader looking for a succinct orientation to the main problems, arguments and sources in the area, Lampe's book will be an extremely useful resource.' John B. Allcock, University of Bradford
'Yugoslavia as History sketches an indispensable historical background to the cataclysmic events that swept away an entire country. Lampe's book is a corrective to both the hostile and nostalgic approaches to Yugoslavia. The real story is much more complex, and Lampe tells it with insight, judgement, and clarity.' Warren Zimmermann
