The Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s provides a detailed yet succinct overview of the Yugoslav wars and the subsequent trajectory of events in the region, addressing the roles of both domestic and international actors. Not only is this book is very well written, it succeeds in conveying the complexities effectively. For any student of Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav studies, or for those seeking to learn about the modern history of the countries of the former Yugoslavia, this book is essential.' - Kenneth Morrison, De Montfort University Leicester, UK 'Catherine Baker navigates the stormy waters of post-Yugoslav studies with remarkable ease, addressing key debates and often offering more than one interpretation, although her own views and preferences are always made clear. Relevant transnational references point at broader context and the need to understand what happened in Yugoslavia not as something unique, but rather symptomatic of the violent twentieth century. The book should become a starting point for future histories of the Wars of the Yugoslav Succession.' - Dejan Djoki?, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK

"The Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s is a well-structured and balanced volume that provides the reader with a critically written “state of the debate” on what The Economist once called the “Yugomess”. Among its biggest strengths and novelties, if compared with other introductory accounts, is the author’s insistence on not only what has been written about particular events, but also how it has been written." - Dora Komnenovic, Justus Liebig University, Germany in Croatian Political Science Review
