Publisher Synopsis
Donia and Fine are two of the few established American historians of Bosnia. Readers will appreciate their skillful collaboration, for their book at once interprets the region's complex religious history, defends its distinctiveness against claims of Serbia and Croatia, and demonstrates its people's use of religion as a 'code' of identity rather than as a source of conflict . . . Its purpose and clarity assure it a secure place in the literature of southeastern Europe. Read more...
