Judah, Tim, 1962-

The Serbs : history, myth and the destruction of Yugoslavia / Tim Judah. - New Haven : Yale University Press, c1997. - xvii, 350 p. : ill., maps ; 25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 333-336) and index.

This in-depth account of life behind Serbian lines is not an apologia but a scrupulous explanation of how the people of a modernizing European state could become among the most reviled of the century. Rejecting the stereotypical image of a bloodthirsty nation, Judah makes the Serbs comprehensible by placing them within the context of their history and their hopes.
