About This Book

An eyewitness narrative of two decades of travel and political observation in the Balkans, recounting encounters with rulers, local customs, and the interplay of competing foreign interests. The author assembles episodes from Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, tracing plots, uprisings, murders, and shifting alliances that foreshadow larger conflict. Travel impressions of landscape and court life are interwoven with analysis of nationalist movements and diplomatic maneuvering. The chronological account follows successive crises and years of tension, arguing that small facts and local incidents illuminate broader historical currents leading into the wartime upheaval.
