Bosnia and Hercegovina: A Tradition Betrayed

Bosnia and Hercegovina: A Tradition Betrayed by Donia, Professor Robert J.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780231101608.

This book examines Bosnias rich historical traditions in light of the conflict that erupted there in 1992. The authors explain the origins of Bosnias major ethnonational groups in the religious conversions of the Middle Ages and under the Ottomans as a prelude to the transformation of its principal religious communities into twentieth-century nationalities. The roles of Bosnias Muslims, Serbs, and Croats in the events affecting the Yugoslav peoples in the twentieth century and then as Yugoslavia disintegrated in the early 1990s are vividly presented.
