YugoslavismHistories of a Failed Idea,1918-1992DEJAN DJOKIC (ED.)

The main aim of this book is to explorethe history of ‘the Yugoslav idea’, or‘Yugoslavism’, between the creation of thestate at the end of the First World War in

1918 and itsdissolutionin the early1990s. Thekey themethat emergesis thatYugoslavismwas a fluidconcept,which thedifferentYugoslavnations,leaders andsocialgroupsunderstood

in different ways at different times. Therewas no single definition of who or whatwas (or was not) ‘Yugoslav’ — a fact whichperhaps indirectly contributed to theultimate failure of the Yugoslav idea and,with it, the Yugoslav state. Yugoslavism offers a unique perspectiveon Yugoslavia’s political, social, diplomaticand economic history and contributes to abetter understanding of the wars whichfollowed the country’s dissolution.

The Balkanssince 1453L.S. STAVRIANOSIntroduction by Traian Stoianovich

‘It is a pleasure to see the reissue of L.S. Stavrianos'The Balkans since 1453. This monumental book,first published in 1958, has served as an eminentlyuseful corrective against all sorts of imbalance andpartiality that have hindered the study of the subject.

It remains tothis day a tow-ering achieve-ment, and amasterly work ofsynthesis. Itsreappearance inthe bookshopswas longoverdue....Stavrianoshas woven arich and colour-ful tapestrymade of manydifferentthreads, andgives fullweight to theinternal andexternal forces

that shaped the history of the Balkans over 500years.’ (Dimitris Livanios, Anglo-HellenicReview)

‘Virtually every scholar and teacher of Balkan historyand civilization today began training withStavrianos’s seminal work. Not only was it the prin-cipal work of synthesis for several decades — in afield which sorely lacked synthesis — but moresignificantly, it was, and remains, of considerablevalue because of its extensive coverage, clearorganization, depth of analysis and readability.... While other fine works of synthesis have beenproduced since Stavrianos wrote The Balkans since1453, his book has not only stood the test of time butremains the defining general work in the study ofBalkan civilisation. Those who grew up with thisbook enthusiastically applaud its reissue and warmlyrecommend it to the new generation of students.’ (Professor Bernd J. Fischer, University of Indiana)

In this book Paul Lendvai tells how,despite a string of catastrophes and theirlinguistic and cultural isolation, theHungarians have survived as a nation-state for more than 1,000 years. He tracesHungarian politics, culture, economicsand emotions from the Magyars’ entryinto the Carpathian Basin in 896 to thepost-Cold War era. He brings to life the short-livedrevolutionary triumphs of 1848-9 and1918-19; the traumatic Treaty of Trianon(1920) which deprived Hungary ofTransylvania and other historic Magyarlands; and the successive Nazi andCommunist tyrannies – episodes that haveformed the consciousness of theHungarian people. Through anecdotesof heroes and traitors, victors and victims,geniuses and impostors, Lendvai conveysthe interplay of progressivism andeconomic modernisation versus intoler-ance and narrow-minded nationalism. The Hungarians blends fast-movingnarrative, irony and humour, occasionalanger, and meticulous scholarship. It alsooffers an authoritative key to understand-ing how this corner of Europe producedsuch a galaxy of great scientists, artists,movie moguls and other entrepreneurs.

Milosevic and BeyondSerbia’s Road from Warto DemocracyROBERT THOMAS

‘Robert Thomas has written another important bookon Serbia. The first, Serbia under Milosevic:Politics in the 1990s, focused on Serbia’s electoralpolitics, conflict between the government and theopposition, the repressive measures of the govern-ment, the collaboration of some of the opposition lead-ers with the Milosevic regime and the principledstruggles of others. The new book focuses on the Kosovo war in all itsaspects: the struggle between Albanian terrorists andguerillas against the Serbian military and police,international repercussions of the conflict, NATObombing campaign, Serbian internal politics,Milosevic’s ultimate defeat. Like the previous book,this one is well-written and readable; indeed itcaptures the reader’s attention. It is very well docu-mented and can be used as a work of reference. Theauthor’s feeling for Serbian politics is excellent andhe is critical without contempt and praises withoutexaggeration. His assessment of the motives of NATOis realistic and he does not accept their self-servingmoralizing. Balance and objectivity, solid analysis andmeasured conclusions are the best qualities of thisbook.’ (Aleksa Djilas)

This successor volume to Serbia underMilosevic sets the Kosovo question withinthe wider framework of Serbian politics inthe 1990s. It concentrates on how theradicalisation of the conflict over Kosovowas linked to the increasing weakness ofthe Milosevic regime in post-DaytonSerbia and contributed to its ultimatedownfall. Thomas examines not only howthe international community was drawnprogressively deeper into the conflictbetween Serbs and Kosovars, but also thecourse of the war and its impact on publicand political life in Serbia.

Serbia underMilosevicPolitics in the 1990sROBERT THOMAS

‘For the rise of Milosevic, Thomas’s book provides awealth of detail, comprehensively sourced. [...] anauthoritative insight into the way Milosevic hijackedSerbian nationalism and harnessed it for his ownends.’ (The Sunday Times)

‘A valuable andhighly releventcontribution toour knowledge ofpost-DaytonSerbia. [...]Objective andbalanced.’(Aleksa Djilas)

At the end ofthe 1980s, afactionwithin theSerbianCommunistParty led bySlobodanMilosevic was

able to exploit national and constitutionaltensions within the former Yugoslavia andso preserve its hold on power. Thus, whenpolitical pluralism arrived in Serbia in theearly 1990s, in contrast to the situation inother East European countries, all thefundamental institutions of powerremained under the control of Milosevicand his formerly Communist SocialistParty of Serbia. Milosevic’s rise to powerand his calamitous impact on the Serbianpeople are the principal themes addressedin RobertThomas’s book.

‘A penetratinganalysis of anideology that hasprovided theintellectual andemotional basisfor the quest fora GreaterSerbia....Serbia’smythical image

served as a justification for putting several nationsunder Serbian rule at the beginning of this century.Tragically, the persistence of this mythology contrib-uted to the international community’s failure to pre-vent Serbia’s brutal campaign to destroy these non-Serbian nations at the end of the century.’(Philip J.

The Politics ofSymbol in SerbiaIVAN COLOVICTranslated from the Serbian by CeliaHawkesworth

‘Ivan Colovic, leading anthropologist and culturalcritic, specialist in cultural symbols, is himself thegreatest symbol ofthe decency,respectability,humour and gutsof a small butimportant groupof Belgradeintellectuals.’(ProfessorMariaTodorova)

For theSerbianjournalist andessayist IvanColovic,symbols arecentral topolitics. Theynot only provide the means to acquire andmaintain power, but the very business ofwielding and retaining power is seen ashaving a symbolic side. He develops thisidea by investigating the symbols of poli-tics and the politics of symbols in Serbiaand also in Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina.

pressed. In com-pensation, hehelps us under-stand the con-flict in its his-torical context.Few will disa-gree with hisclosing remarkthat Serbia af-ter MrMilosevic is likeJonah releasedfrom the belly ofthe whale, “freeto face its prob-lems in starkdaylight”.’ TheEconomist)

Paulin Kola challenges the accepted notion that there iswidespread support for a ‘Greater Albania’ among the Al-banian-speaking peoples of the Balkans, and argues thatAlbanians do not wish to join a single, politically recognisedentity. He explains how the Albanians are marked by ideo-

In just over a decade Romania has gonefrom communist isolation under themegalomaniac Nicolae Ceauuescu tobeing a key player in America’s waragainst terrorism. Tom Gallagher analyseshow the largest country in the Balkans isseeking to transform its image while at thesame time many of the key legacies ofdictatorship remain intact. Problems thathave made the country a byword formisrule — such as a corrupt ruling élite,unaccountable intelligence services, andextreme nationalists adept at exploitingsocial misery — remain largely unre-solved. Only in 2000, it was in Romaniathat the best electoral performance so farof any of Europe’s radical extremist move-ments was obtained. As NATO and the European Unionexpand eastwards, the success of the mostimportant shift in European security sincethe end of the Cold War is bound up withthe outcome of necessary reforms inRomania.

Greece: the Modern SequelFrom 1831 to the PresentJOHN S. KOLIOPOULOS AND THANOS M. VEREMIS

Minorities in GreeceAspects of a Plural SocietyRICHARD CLOGG (ED.)

Greece has traditionally been one of the most ethnicallyand religiously homogeneous countries in the Balkans.In the last census (1951) to record religious affiliation andmother tongue, 97 per cent of the population gave theirreligion as Orthodox Christian and 95 per cent theirmother tongue as Greek. Yet tere are small religious,linguistic and ethnic minorities in Greece, and the 1990switnessed a large influx of foregners, mostly from EasternEurope, amounting to as much as 10 per cent of the na-tive-born population. Little has been published in Englishhitherto on this subject. The book has chapters on, interalia, the Old Calendarists, Catholics, Evangelicals, Jews,Muslims, Armenians, Vlachs, Slavs and Sarakatsani.

The thematic, rather than chronological, structure of thisfresh look at Greece and the Greek people is based on thepremise that there are certain constant factors underlyingthe workings of Greece today. The authors’ exploration ofGreek history since independence is organised aroundthemes such as politics, institutions, society, ideology,religion, foreign policy, geography and culture. Theauthors do not pretend to offer a dispassionate analysis,but make clear their predilection for the principles thatinspired the founding fathers — natives and foreigners —of the Greek state. These princpiles are juxtaposed withindigenous norms and practices, and in each case theoutcome of the tension between opposing forces is assessed. J. S. KJ. S. KJ. S. KJ. S. KJ. S.

The Balkan Exchangeof Minorities and itsImpact on GreeceDIMITRI PENTZOPOULOSIntroduction by Michael Llewellyn Smith

‘Some books flash brightly and then disappear; othersquietly gain influence over time. And selected othersare brought back because changed circumstancesrequire that their lessons be relearned. This is therationale that led Hurst to reissue, after some 40

years, anearlier study ofGreece’s AsiaMinor calamityand its manyconsequences.Greeks willfind muchvaluablehistory here,while non-Greeks willfind it helpfulin grapplingwith modernGreekcomplexities.’(Kathimerini)

The defeatof the Greek armies in Asia Minor inAugust 1922, leading to what the Greekscall ‘the Asia Minor Catastrophe’, led di-rectly to the flight of Greek refugees fromAsia Minor, the compulsory exchange ofpopulations between Greece and Turkeyand the resettlement in Greece of1, 300,000 displaced people. This is thegreat theme of this book, which nowmakes a reappearance four decades afterits original publication.

Plundered LoyaltiesAxis Occupation and CivilStrife in Greek WestMacedonia, 1941-1949JOHN S. KOLIOPOULOSIntroduction by C.M. Woodhouse

‘’The book makes a real effort at objectivity andshould become a classic text.’ (Times LiterarySupplement)

‘Excellent... an important book.’(Norman Stone, New Statesman)

Readers could not have a better guide thanKoliopoulos. His knowledge and experience are madeall the more persuasive by his humane objectivity; andno less important is his gift for penetrating thepsychology of peasants as well as politicians andintellectuals.’ (from the Preface by C.M. Woodhouse)

Plundered Loyalties examines the impact ofthe Axis Occupation (1941-1944) and theGreek Civil War (1945-1949) on GreekWest Macedonia’s multicultural anddeeply fragmented population.The political situation in that mountain-ous region was enormously complicated,defined by occupying forces, their‘collaborators’, and resistanceorganizations. Guerilla activity and theattendant harsh reprislas brought untoldsuffering to the peasants as a result of thegrowing ferocity of the occupiers. Thesituation became even more tortous in theyears of civil strife after the War, whenyesterday’s heroes turned into rebelsagainst the legitimate government of thecountry. The author’s previous works includeGreece and the British Connection, 1935-1941(1977) and Brigands with a Cause (1987).

As headof the AlliedMilitaryMission tothe Greekguerrillas in

Greece in 1943-4, C.M. Woodhouse hadto hold an uneasy balance between theCommunist and government sides. TheCommunist struggle for Greece had threephases. The first began in 1941 with theGerman occupation of Greece when theNational Liberation Front attempted toregain control of the country andoverthrow the monarchy. In the second,the Communists tried to seize power inDecember 1944 and were frustrated bythe intervention of British forces. Thethird phase (1946-9) was marked by USintervention, UN fact-finding missions,and the shift from guerrilla tactics toconventional warfare. Ultimately theCommunists were weakened by internalfeuding and overcome by the US forces.The author analyses the characters,ideologies and events behind a bittercivil war. C.M. WC.M. WC.M. WC.M. WC.M.

The late P.J. Vatikiotis, EmeritusProfessorof Politics at the University of London,wrote of the book:

‘This is an important study of the politicsof modern Greece, relevant to anunderstanding of the evolution of societyand polity since independence in 1830.In addition to offering a survey of theorigins and evolution of the militaryinstitution during the last 150 years, theauthor uses personal and state archivesand an array of diaries and memoirs topresent the most complete and impressivenarrative of the intervention of the Greekarmy in politics for the period from 1916to 1974; the story of the dramatic strugglebetween politicians and the monarch forthe allegiance and control of the armyofficer corps; and the fateful central issueof modern Greek politics, the so-called“Army List”...With this investigation of themilitary institution in modern Greece upto the 1995 law the determining thesharing of responsibilities between civiland military authorities, Veremis hasidentified broader areas of research intoGreek politics, its leading personalities,such as Venizelos, Plastiras, Pangalos andMetaxas, the politicization of themonarchy, and its eventual fall.’ T T T T THANOSHANOSHANOSHANOSHANOS V V V V VEREMISEREMISEREMISEREMISEREMIS is the co-author ofGreece: The Modern Sequel (p. 16)

RUSSIA

A Triptych from the Russian TheatreAn Artistic Biography of the KomissarzhevskysVICTOR BOROVSKY

‘The merit of Victor Borovsky’s book is that it restores coherence to a three-part life and sets Komisin the context of his gifted family. ...Borovsky has done monumental work in rescuing Komis’s life.’(Ralph Berry, Times Higher Educational Supplement)

‘The author’s love of the subject is apparent throughout, andthe same vivid, impassioned style pervades the text as was tobe found in his earlier works. ... It is doubtful that therecould be more information to be found about theKomissarzhevskys in the English language. Each of the livesportrayed here is given its due tribute in both the personaland the professional sphere; and in addition, much to belearned about the devleopment of the Russian theatre and theinteraction between Russian and western theatre.’(Britain-Russia Newsletter)

This collective biography begins with FyodorKomissarzhevsky (183-05), a leading tenor andclose friend of Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky,Dostoyevsky and Turgenev. The second parttells of his daughter Vera (1864-1910), the fore-most Russian actress of her time and a culturalinstitution. Her friends and admirers includedChekhov, Rachmaninov and Shaliapin. Whenshe died she was mourned throughout Russia.

The third part is the story of the younger Fyodor (1882-1954), half-brotherof Vera, who became prominent as a theatre director in pre-RevolutionaryRussia. He emigrated in 1919 and for twenty years was a leading figure in theBritish theatre. After working with Sir Thomas Beecham at the Royal OperaHouse, he set up a small theatre in Barnes (London) where his productions ofChekhov were a revelation to the public. Among those who owed artistic debtsto ‘Komis’ were John Gielgud, Edith Evans, Peggy Ashcroft (to whom he wasonce married), Alec Guinness, Anthony Quayle and Charles Laughton.‘Komis’ was director of the Royal Shakespeare Company and his productionsthere are still regarded as classics. From 1938 he lived in America. This book is based on Russian and Western archive material, unpublishedmemoirs and letters, theatre reviews and interviews (the latter included PeggyAshcroft, John Gielgud and Ernestine Stodelle Komissarzhevsky). Apart from a few articles in academic journals (mainly about Vera) nothinghas been written about the Komissarzhevskys. As well as recording these threeremarkable lives, it traces the accumulation of Russian theatrical culture over acentury, and its impact on British and American theatre.

Regions in theHistory of CentralEuropeSVEN TAGIL (ED.)

The subject of Euro-regions is topical andcontroversial, but those of Central Europehave been neglected by scholars. ‘CentralEurope’ is demarcated variously accordingto geographical, political, economic andcultural criteria. The subjective term ‘region’ and itstheoretical implications are considered inthe opening chapters of this book. Theempirical section ranges in time from theappearance of the German ‘stern’ duchiesin the Middle Ages to cross-bordercooperation in the Oder area today, andgeographically from Baden-Württembergin the west to Transylvania, Carpatho-Ruthenia and the Kaliningrad enclave inthe east. The authors all highlight thecomplex problems of local identity andthe centrality of culture in shaping notionsof the region.

From Empire toAnarchyPost-Communist ForeignPolicy and InternationalRelationsMETTE SKAK

‘An excellent treatment of a complex subject [...] Noone else has attempted a synthesis of this kind. [...]The author’s treatment of the past is highlypersuasive, both in its own context and as anassessment of the legacy that the post-communist stateshave to deal with. [...] Overall, I have the highestopinion of this work.’ (Professor GeorgeSchopflin, SSEES)

Russia, Lithuania and Hungary all madethe transition from communism to post-communism, though with very differentmotives and results. This book examineshow the foreign policies of these threecountries were affected by this process.Mette Skak analyses the problems ofthe former imperial centre (Russia), thecountries of the former internal empire(Lithuania) and those of the formerexternal empire (Hungary). As well asdrawing on these case studies, sheaddresses the problems facing the foreignpolicy-makers of post-communist societiesas a whole.

SIGNAL BOOKS/CITIES OF THE IMAGINATION

PRAGUEA Cultural and Literary CompanionRICHARD BURTON

Located at the very centre of Europe, Prague has been on the frontline of internationalpolitical, intellectual, religious and cultural conflicts for more than six centuries. In-vaded and occupied by the Habsburgs, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Nazis, andthen Communist Russia, the city’s identity is shaped by foreign domination and a strong

sense of martyrdom. A treasure house of Gothic, Baroque and modernistarchitecture, Prague is also a city of icons and symbols:statues, saints and signs reveal a turbulent history ofreligious and cultural conflict. As Kafka's nightmare cityand home of the Good Soldier Svejk, the Czech capital alsoproduced two of the twentieth century’s emblematicwriters. Richard Burton explores this metropolis oftheatrical allusion, in which politics and drama have alwaysbeen intertwined. His interpretation of the city’s culturalpast and present encompasses opera and rock music,puppetry and cinema, surrealism and socialist realism.Looking at Prague’s world-famous landmarks and lesser-known sites, his reading of the city through its writing andiconography is both perceptive and challenging.

THE CITY OF ARTISTS AND WRITERS: The Castle andKafka, Hasek and Kundera; music from Smetana to the

Plastic People of the Universe; modernism and cubism; political theatre and the play-wright-president Václav Havel.

THE CITY OF TYRANNY AND RESISTANCE: Jan Hus and anti-Catholic revolt;subjugation and the rise of Czech nationalism; Germans, Czechs and Jews;‘the Prague Spring’ of 1968, Charter 77 and the ‘Velvet Revolution’ of November1989.

THE CITY OF MAGIC, MURDER AND MYTH: Medieval alchemy and astrology; themyth of the Golem, the ghetto and anti-Semitism; living puppets, robots, anddefenestration.
