War Drums Across the Balkans: Yugoslavia 1989 to Today

This JW3 morning course begins on Thursday 22 April. Bookings available through JW3, see their website for details. All welcome to this zoom course of lectures.

Short Booklist

The Balkans by Misha Glenny

Breaking the South Slav Dream by Kate Hudson

The Fall of Yugoslavia* by Misha Glenny (excellent maps)

The Collapse of Yugoslavia 1991-1999* by Alistair Finlan (nice colour maps)

The Dissolution of Yugoslavia by Charles Rivers Editors

Shadowplay by Tim Marshall



A synopsis for the first session, 'Yugoslavia: A country designed to fail?', I will publish in advance sometime early next week.
