Industry Reviews "The great contribution of John B. Allcock's EXPLAINING YUGOSLAVIA is to look at many of these issues--the explanatory power of ethnic affiliations, the sources of communal violence--througha sociologist's lens. In the process, he places the Yugoslavia case in a broad, comparative framework....As a panoramic account of the Yugoslav idea and its development over the twentieth century, EXPLAINING YUGOSLAVIA deserves a wide readership."
