A new edition of the classic travelogue exploring the Balkan Peninsula's political, social, religious, and economic past.
From the assassination that triggered World War I to the ethnic warfare in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia, the Balkans have been the crucible of the twentieth century, the place where terrorism and genocide first became tools of policy. Chosen as one of the Best Books of the Year by the
New York Times, and greeted with critical acclaim as "the most insightful and timely work on the Balkans to date" (
Boston Globe), Kaplan's prescient, enthralling, and often chilling political travelogue is already a modern classic.
This new edition of
Balkan Ghosts includes six opinion pieces written by Robert Kaplan about the Balkans between 1996 and 2000, beginning just after the implementation of the Dayton Peace Accords and ending after the conclusion of the Kosovo war, with the removal of Slobodan Milosevic from power.
Praise for
Balkan Ghosts
"The product of over a decade of travel and research, this is one of precious few works that allows a Western reader a look into the tortured soul of the Balkan peoples.... A superior narrative.... Kaplan is a master of this genre." -
Library Journal
"A memorable portrait of an increasingly important region." -
