PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
First published in 1941, this monumental work explores the complex history of Yugoslavia, its heroes, politics and culture. The book probes the roots of the heart-rending ethnic divisions in the region. You may find some fault with West's scholarship and disagree with her opinions, but this is nonetheless an absorbing and influential portrait, indicative of the time. It's a big, challenging book -- some call it the best ever written on the Balkans.
