Black Lamb and Grey Falcon by Rebecca West

Black Lamb and Grey Falcon by Rebecca West

"Rebecca West's magnum opus . . . one of the great books of our time." --The New Yorker
 
Written on the brink of World War II, Rebecca West's classic examination of the history, people, and politics of Yugoslavia illuminates a region that is still a focus of international concern. A magnificent blend of travel journal, cultural commentary, and historical insight, Black Lamb and Grey Falcon probes the troubled history of the Balkans and the uneasy relationships among its ethnic groups. The landscape and the people of Yugoslavia are brilliantly observed as West untangles the tensions that rule the country's history as well as its daily life.
