Black Lamb and Grey Falcon 3 of 3

Part Three Of Three Parts Written on the brink of World War II, West's classic examination of the history, people, and politics of Yugoslavia illuminates a region that is once again the center of international concern. A magnificent blend of travel journal, cultural commentary and historical insight, it probes into the troubled history of the Balkans and the uneasy relationships among its ethnic groups. The landscape and people of Yugoslavia are brilliantly observed as Rebecca West untangles the tensions that rule the country's history as well as its daily life. "A masterpieceas astonishing in its range, in the subtlety and power of its judgment, as it is brilliant in expression." (London Times)
