For the first time in any language, the book gives a comprehensive overview of the region’s history from the middle ages to today. On the one hand it offers an ample historical survey, on the other hand it suggests a set of groundbreaking interpretations in a broad European context. Furthermore, the volume delivers a regional perspective on historical events opposed to the narrow national perspectives in use. It is particular useful for historians, but also for scholar of other disciplines interested in the region.
The 34 maps were specially put together for this volume.
