Summary:

In this updated edition of his acclaimed history, Marcus Tanner takes us from the first Croat principalities of the Early Middle Ages through to the country's independence in the modern era. "Full of absorbing stories and important insights, Croatia deserves to be read."-Aleska Djilas, New York Times Book Review.
