The Balkans: A Short History by Mark Mazower
4.0
Pretty interesting read, i definitely learned a lot. Mark used a lot different source and created a comprehensive view of the balkans for the last 500 years. Does a good job of dispelling the myths and stereotypes of the balkans, backing it up with the real history.
I was expecting a bit more medieval/byzantine history, so i was a little dissapointed in that regard.
I felt the book could have been organized a little bitter, you wind up reading about the same periods in history multiple times in different contexts/focuses.
Good vocabulary builder.
