This review is from: A brief history of Slovenia: Historical background of the Republic of Slovenia (Paperback)
Certainly, "A Brief History of Slovenia" lives up to its name: the story takes us from pre-Roman settlement to potential EU/NATO membership in less than 250 pages. Each chapter clearly hits the high points, plus includes some details about the people who figured prominently in Slovenian (and to a lesser degree Yugoslavian) history. The translators did a great job overall, the narrative has pretty good flow. At times though, the book assumes the reader is already familiar with Slovenian notables, omitting some biographical detail and confusing the reader (well this reader at least). In other spots, there are almost Biblical lists of names-again without having some background, these names don't mean much. This book could be an additional text for a Balkan/Yugoslavian history course, or research for a tourist heading to that part of Europe.
