Glenny, The Balkans: Nationalism, War and the Great Powers, 1804-1999 (2001)

Misha [Michael V. E.] Glenny.
The Balkans: Nationalism, War and the Great Powers, 1804-1999.
New York: Penguin Books, 2001.

Book Information: Amazon.com.

Newer editions of this book were published in 2012 (USA) and 2017 (UK): The 2012 USA edition differs from the 2001 edition that I read in the addition of a new epilogue, about 40 pages long, "The Swinging Doors: Europe, crime and economic crisis, 1999-2012". What was labeled as Epilogue in the 2001 edition ("The Balkan Vortex: Nationalism, war and NATO, 1989-99") became Chapter 9 in the 2012 edition.

Wikipedia Articles: World War I: Interwar Period: World War II: Note: I omitted listing articles related to empires, nations or regions that are little discussed in Adam Tooze's book The Deluge. Therefore, despite the impact of World War I on those areas, I omitted articles related to, for example, the Balkans, Hungary, Romania, the Ottoman Empire, Greece, Turkey, Palestine, Arabia, Mesopotamia.
