In May 2006, following a passionate and closely fought referendum
in which nearly 90% of those eligible voted, Montenegro finally
regained the status of an independent nation--the most recent
chapter in a highly turbulent history. But how did the Balkans
forge this tiny republic? What sets it apart from the other
dominant powers in the region and what will be its future role on
the world's stage?
"Montenegro"": A Modern History" charts the country's
contemporary history in accessible and comprehensive form.
Beginning with its recognition as an independent state at the
Congress of Berlin in 1878, Kenneth Morrison traces the country's
evolution through its incorporation into the Kingdom of Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes, its disproportionate role during the Yugoslav
wars of 1941-1945, its contribution to the bloody collapse of
Yugoslavia and finally the achievement of independence. He explores
the forces that have shaped the republic of Montenegro and
questions where this will lead in the future, examining the
fundamental issues of Montenegrin identity and statehood in the
context of Balkan and European politics, society and history. This
full and authoritative history will be essential reading for
everyone interested in the political and social dynamics of
Europe's newest state.
