In this captivating exploration, Henry Baerlein takes us through the intricate historical tapestry of Yugoslavia—a vibrant nation in southeastern Europe that emerged from the ashes of World War I as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. Drawing from his original articles in the Fortnightly Review, Baerlein illuminates the numerous challenges faced by this multi-ethnic society, which ultimately disintegrated in 1992, paving the way for the independent nations we recognize today Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia. Join Keith Marohn as he narrates this compelling narrative of identity, conflict, and transformation.
