Praise for the first edition:

"A lively and balanced history of the Serbs." - Aleksa Djilas, New York Times Book Review

"Judah writes splendidly. . . . The story he tells does much to explain both the Serb obsession with the treachery of outsiders and their quasi-religious faith in the eventual founding, or rather re-establishment, of the Serbian state." - Mark Danner, New York Review of Books

"Judah's book is probably the best attempt to date to explain the calamitous situation of the Serbs today through a meticulous consideration of the Serb past." - David Rieff, Toronto Globe and Mail

Tim Judah was Balkans correspondent for the London Times and the Economist, and has been a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books.
