This sweeping history of the Serbian people starts with the
settlement of the Slavs on the Balkan Peninsula in the seventh
century and ends with the dissolution of Yugoslavia at the end of
the twentieth. Drawing on his own research and on contemporary
literature, Sima Cirkovic looks at how the Serbs have fared through
the ages - struggling for independence against Byzantium, suffering
as slaves of the Ottoman sultans, and modernizing in a troubled
corner of south-eastern Europe.
Cirkovic's detailed account provides a counter-balance to
traditionally one-sided political histories of the Serbs, paying
close attention to the nation's socio-economic development. His
narrative gives equal weight to the medieval and modern periods,
but draws from the processes of both integration and disintegration
that have characterized Serbian history. The book gives readers the
historical background to the Serbs, providing an essential insight
into recent events.
