"A straightforward guide to the history and geopolitics of Kosovo
and the first book on the country since its declaration of
independence in February this year."--The Economist
"Packs a surprising amount of nuance into a slim volume... a solid
introduction to an important topic."--Booklist
"Judah does a commendable job of telling the dense story in an
understandable fashion. Because the region changes so quickly, an
up-to-date history like this is welcome."--Library Journal
"[A] concise and updated version of his longer and more detailed
history published in 2000...Judah's short history of Kosovo is a
fair and sympathetic account of an impossible situation..."--New
York Review of Books
