About this book
Reviews
“The Balkans and the Cold War provides a forceful challenge to many of the prevailing interpretations of the region’s history. It effectively makes use of recently released archival documents to alter the understanding of Yugoslav-Soviet relations and the agency of the Balkan states with regards to the Soviet Union, the United States and the EEC. … a valuable contribution to the history of the Balkans in the Cold War.” (Eliot Rothwell, LSE Review of Books, lse.ac.uk, August, 2017)
