Recommended by Ilber Ortayli
“Professors Yavuz and Blumi have edited an excellent and much needed study on the interdisciplinary aspects of the Balkan Wars (1912-1913). By avoiding nationalist narratives that came to dominate the recent scholarship, the chapters rigorously develop the social, economic, cultural, and diplomatic connections between local, regional, and European dimensions of this catastrophic event that resulted in the annihilation of the Ottoman Muslim civilization in the Balkans. This book argues for a new theoretical approach to studying the complex connections between warfare, nationalism and homogenization. This book is more so a study of the patterns of the nation-building than a military history. It is a must read for the Balkan and Ottoman specialists and students of nationalism.” (from Amazon)
