I sure hope there's an update to this book, because it stops well before the events of 1999. It's still worth a read, however, to gain an understanding of Kosovo -- and how the Kosovo Question is tied up with both Serbia and Albania. Much of the book is fascinating and makes for a quick read; however, I tended to get bogged down in the longer descriptions of battles. That's just a reflection on what interests me, though, so in general I'd say it's a must-read for anyone either interested in Kosovo or the Balkans in general.

A clear lining out of how Serbian "martyrdom" has 700 years of history behind it. And, from there, the vectors are traced to Serbian thuggery, starting 100 years ago in the two Balkan Wars.

An interesting read that covers a great deal of Kosova's past. Just keep in mind that it was written awhile back, so ends in 1997 before Kosovo even declared their independence.
