Posted by Kerry Kubilius Aug 16, 2006

The last century has seen drastic changes in Eastern Europe's boundaries, governments, and accessibility. The former Yugoslavia is one such nation that has been volatile in these, and other, areas. Rebecca West, a novelist and journalist who worked and wrote during WWII and beyond took it upon herself to document a journey through Yugoslavia.

Black Lamb and Grey Falcon: A Journey through Yugoslavia is an impressive tomb that details Yugoslavia's regions knowledgeably and tirelessly. Bibliography and index are useful tools for this 1,000+ page classic. This insightful volume will give readers a first hand look at Yugoslavia history . . . even if you only read parts of it!
