| Description | Timeless and timely, these pages bring to life again the ravages of war in the Balkans at the other end of the twentieth century. It is timeless for readers who discern that the tragedy of Yugoslavia is evoked all too readily by these first-hand accounts of Serbian, Bulgarian and Greek enmity and brutality long ago. These allies against the Turks in the first Balkan war of 1912 turned enemies in the second Balkan war of 1913. Since then much has changed; much has not. Timely, for readers who will more fully understand from this volume, published by the Carnegie Endowment in 1914, how deep and strong are the roots of the present conflict in the Balkans. Members of the original Commission of Inquiry, who came from the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia and Germany filled their report with details of regional politics, nationalist and ethnic tension, religious differences, moral codes abandoned, meddling by outsiders, local leaders gripped by ambition and local hatreds run rampant. George F. Kennan's introduction bridges the Balkan wars of 1913 and 1993. He does justice to both eras with a historian's eye and a special blend of realism and moral sensibility. |
