Croatia: A Nation Forged in War

In this book an eyewitness to the breakup of Yugoslavia provides the first full and impartial account of the rise, fall and rebirth of Croatia from its medieval origins to today's tentative peace. Marcus Tanner describes the turbulence and drama of Croatia's past and - drawing on his own experience and interviews with many of the leading figures in Croatia's conflict - explains its violent history since Tito's death in 1980. This third edition updates the account and follows Croatia's progress.
