"The importance of [the 1913] report for the world lies primarily in the light it casts on the excruciating situation prevailing today. . . to reveal to people of this age how much of today's problem has deep roots and how much does not. It will be easier to think of solutions when such realities are kept in mind."George F. Kennan (in the Introduction)

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Timeless and timely, these pages bring to life again--after eight decades--the ravages of war in the Balkans at the other end of the twentieth century. These pages also bespeak a confidence misplaced and an optimism lost. Professor Kennan's introduction also bridges the Balkan wars of 1913 and 1993. He does justice to both eras with a historian's eye and a special blend of realism and moral sensibility.

From the Long One To the Short Telegram

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2000

Preamble: "The Other Balkan Wars" is a reprint of the Report of the International Commission To Inquire into the Causes and Conduct of the Balkan Wars (1912-1913). It was published by Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in May-June of 1993, under the presidentship of Morton Abramovitz.
Professor George F. Kennan has written the Introduction only for this book -date unavailable.
Quite a long time ago, almost twenty years before CEIP president, Morton Abramowitz, has brushed this book from the shelf, I have had the original in my hands, and this with the greatest care. My father, as a volunteer telegraphist was in the midst of the first book's subject.
Giving an opinion of the first and the second edition in English -I have no knowledge of any translation- is a task of the utmost seriousness. Let Good Lord help me to condense my view in less then a thousand words. At that point I will more than gladly respond to your kind offer and continue along this lines.
Sincerely, DJGB Popadich

Extremely interesting

Reviewed in Italy on December 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is an extremely interesting and informative book. It makes the reader wondering how is possibile that some parts of the world have returned to the beginning of 19th century, after the Cold War interlude. And the similarities between the Balkan Wars atrocities and the mass killings of 20 years ago in former Yugoslavia are striking.

Sorry, there was a problem.
