Trapped between Albania and Serbia, the tensions between these two are, it seems, ethnic , as two groups with different languages, cultures and religions vie for political autonomy. By the early-1980s Kosovo had reached a state of permanent crisis and military occupation, and it became the main focus for the revival of Serbian nationalism. This book traces the history of Kosovo and examines the Yugoslavian conflict, and the part played by Western Europe in its destruction. Noel Malcolm is the author of Bosnia .
