Croatia by Marcus Tanner
From the ashes of former Yugoslavia an independent Croatian state has arisen, the fulfillment, in the words of President Franjo Tudjman, of the Croats' 'thousand-year-old dream of independence'. This book provides the account of the rise, fall, and rebirth of Croatia from its medieval origins to tentative peace."[Tanner and Judah] bring to bear wide knowledge of Yugoslavia and shared experience of Europe's worst war since 1945Each gives a good historical survey and an account of the war's causes." — Economist
"Readable and stimulating. . . . Long-overdue corrective to the onesidedly negative view long entertained about Croatia by the educated British public." — Times Higher Education Supplement
"Two fine and well-written works....The authors, British journalists who covered the Yugoslav wars, are well worth reading. Their respective accounts give insights into the historical baggage the Yugoslav ethnic groups brought to their latest convulsions."—Dusko Doder, Boston Globe
