An excellent scholarly contribution to the study of the province, this work significantly differs from biased interpretations by Serbian and Albanian historians, as well as superficial Western "Kosovology experts." It is described as a thrilling detective story and a book that every policy expert, journalist, and layperson must read. The narrative is gripping, showcasing the vigor of a detective driven by true passion, with claims that are quite revolutionary in the context of Balkan history. Covering the entire history of Kosovo with breathtaking authority, it is brilliantly researched and argued, making it a magisterial work of history. This profound and pioneering text is expected to endure for generations, offering immense value in understanding a contemporary crisis. Malcolm's exceptional research and equitable examination of conflicting ethnic views provide critical insights into the region. Speculation arises on how a clear understanding of this information might have influenced the Dayton Accord and historical outcomes. As the best available guide to the steps leading to catastrophe, this elaborately researched work clarifies the troubled past and present of Kosovo, a contested region that has seen a shift from nonviolent independence movements to armed struggle amidst ongoing unrest.
