Re: The Balkan Wars/Conflicts of the 1990s - Best Works for Beginners

Hi Jason,
I would echo what Sandra said, if that's your focus. I'd also recommend a newly published (2022) book by Iva Vukušić, Serbian Paramilitaries and the Breakup of Yugoslavia: State Connections and Patterns of Violence published by Routledge. It's as it says on the tin -- a study of the connections between the Serbian (i.e., Yugoslav) state and paramilitaries during the conflict. In my opinion, and as an expert on Balkan paramilitaries, the topic of the Yugoslav wars cannot be understood without this dimension.

All the very best of luck,
Stevan
