- Summary:
- Ripiloski (international studies, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia) asks (and answers) crucial questions regarding the fate of Macedonia, which was the only Yugoslav republic to find a non-violent transition to independence in the early 1990s, yet failed to maintain that peaceful existence. The author follows Macedonia's path to peace, its state-building initiatives, and its subsequent collapse into violence, in addition to providing a greater understanding of what many consider an obscure, little-known country and its impact on Yugoslavia's fragmentation. A helpful list of acronyms is included. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
