"Much of the Western policy community has struggled to come to terms with this region, which was and is at best poorly understood. Hayden’s analysis, built upon a substantial grounding in South Slavic languages and the Balkan area’s stormy history, as well as empathy with its cultural attributes, is in contrast remarkably lucid, not to mention tragically prescient ... a refreshingly thoughtful and extraordinarily insightful volume"R.
