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 20th 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" (The 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.

The story is a short overview (1 or 2 chapters) of various countries in the Balkan area. Interesting and a little sad. Definitely has upped my interest in reading more about this area of the world.

Kaplan is American, but for some unfathomable reason the publisher of the audiobook chose to have a British narrator read the book. This was continuously disconcerting to me. It's not like there is a shortage of capable American narrators!
Very interesting, but a British narrator?

This living conditions and the historical events.
The many locations mentioned I the book can be found in “Google Earth”. It is interesting to look that up.
The book definitely added to my knowledge and understanding of people and the world in which they live.
The narrator, mr. Nigel Patterson, is a pleasure to listen to.
My thanks to all involved, JK.
