A BOSNIA - A Short History / Noel Malcolm (engl.)

This updated edition of Noel Malcolm's highly-acclaimed "BOSNIA: A Short History" provides the reader with the most comprehensive narrative history of Bosnia in the English language. Malcolm examines the different religious and ethnic inhabitants of Bosnia, a land of vast cultural upheaval where the empires of Rome, Charlemagne, the Ottomans, and the Austro-Hungarians overlapped. Clarifying the various myths that have clouded the modern understanding of Bosnia's past, Malcolm brings to light the true causes of the country's destruction. This expanded edition of Bosnia includes a new epilogue by the author examining the failed Vance-Owen peace plan, the tenuous resolution of the Dayton Accords, and the efforts of the United Nations to keep the uneasy peace.

What went wrong in the country where Christians and Muslims mingled and tolerated each other for over five centuries? It was a land with a vibrant political and cultural history, unlike any other in Europe, where great powers and religions-the empires of Rome, Charlemagne, the Ottomans; the faiths of Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Judaism, and Islam overlapped and combined. In this first English-language history of Bosnia, Noel Malcolm provides a narrative chronicle of the country from its beginnings to its tragic end. Clarifying the various myths that have clouded the modern understanding of Bosnia's past, Malcolm brings to light the true causes of the country's destruction: the political strategy of the Serbian leadership, the conflict between the city and the countryside, the fatal inaction and miscalculations of Western politicians. Putting the Bosnia war into perspective, this volume celebrates the complex history of a country whose past, as well as its future, has been all but erased. At last, here is the guide for the general reader seeking a comprehensive and accessible account of the war in the former Yugoslavia.

Ovo ažurirano izdanje vrlo cijenjene Noel Malcolm "BOSNIA: Kratka povijest" pruža čitatelju najopsežniju narativnu povijest Bosne na engleskom jeziku. Malcolm ispituje različite vjerske i etničke stanovnike Bosne, zemlju ogromnog kulturnog prevrata gdje su se preklapala carstva Rima, Karla Velikog, Osmanlija i Austro-Mađara. Razjašnjavajući različite mitove koji su zamaglili suvremeno shvaćanje prošlosti Bosne, Malcolm donosi na vidjelo prave uzroke razaranja zemlje. Ovo prošireno izdanje Bosne uključuje novi epilog autora koji istražuje neuspjeli Vance-Owenov mirovni plan, slabu rezoluciju Daytonskog sporazuma i napore Ujedinjenih naroda da zadrže nelagodan mir.

Što se dogodilo u zemlji u kojoj su se kršćani i muslimani miješali i tolerirali jedni druge više od pet stoljeća? Bila je to zemlja živahne političke i kulturne povijesti, za razliku od bilo koje druge u Europi, gdje su velike sile i religije - Rimska carstva, Karlo Veliki, Osmanlije; vjere rimokatolicizma, istočnog pravoslavlja, judaizma i islama preklapale su se i kombinirale. U ovoj prvoj povijesti bosanskog engleskog jezika Noel Malcolm daje narativnu kroniku zemlje od njezinih početaka do tragičnog kraja. Pojašnjavajući razne mitove koji su zamaglili suvremeno shvaćanje prošlosti Bosne, Malcolm donosi na vidjelo prave uzroke razaranja zemlje: političku strategiju srbijanskog vodstva, sukob između grada i sela, smrtonosnu nedjelovanje i pogrešne proračune zapadnjačkih zemalja. političari. Stavljajući rat u BiH u perspektivu, ovaj broj slavi složenu povijest zemlje čija je prošlost, kao i njezina budućnost, gotovo izbrisana. Naposljetku, ovdje je vodič za čitatelja koji traži jedan pravi i sveobuhvatan, te nadasve pristupačan prikaz rata u bivšoj Jugoslaviji.
