28 June 1389, the Field of the Blackbirds. A Christian army made up
of Serbs, Bosnians, Albanians and Romanians confront an Ottoman
army. In ten hours the battle is over, and the Muslims possess the
field; an outcome that has haunted the vanquished ever since. 28
June 1989, the Serb Leader Slobodan Milosevic launches his campaign
for a fresh massacre of the Albanians, the majority population of
Kosovo. In three short narratives Kadare shows how legends of
betrayal and defeat simmered in European civilisation for six
hundred years, culminating in the agony of one tiny population at
the end of the twentieth century.
