Fails to stick the Landing
Revisado: 01-17-23
The author does provide a decent overview of Balkans history between the time of the fall of Constantinople and WW2, but it fails to build anything. The author attempts to make it a message about how violence isn't inherent in the region, and how much of it was due to western influence, but the author fails to establish sufficient grounding for this thesis. Unfortunately, the author almost completely neglects the period after WW2, which arguably is some of the most interesting stuff, and would have helped a general audience to better understand the 90s period of unrest in the region, which is what most people probably got this book for.
The narrator's performance was fine.
