He takes to his task with the vigor of a detective driven by true passion. At times his claims are, in terms of Balkan history, quite revolutionary.--Economist Cover(s) the whole history of Kosovo, with an authority that is often breathtaking and never oppressive.--Sunday Times Brilliantly researched and argued . a magisterial work of history .
