A Bulgarian geographer who visited Kosovo during World War I remarked that it was "almost as unknown and inaccessible as a stretch of land in Central Africa." The observation would prove ironically fitting by the 1990s, as Central Africa and Kosovo both became sites of widespread genocide, fuelled by ethnic hatreds, of the deepest international significance. Noel Malcolm, a British historian and journalist who has written extensively about the Balkans (including a companion volume of sorts on Bosnia) provides an overview of Kosovo's long-standing cultural divisions in his "short history"* This is a FINE AS NEW copy with NO VISIBLE FAULTS.*
