The Sandzak A History

One of the few remaining unexamined pieces of the Balkan jigsaw, the Sandzak is heir to a complex and contested history. From the emergence and collapse of the first medieval Serbian kingdom, through the Ottoman occupation, the Balkan Wars, the First and Second World Wars and the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the history of Sandzak is one characterised by tumult and flux. Yet despite the 'Sandzak Question' being the focus of the Great Powers in the years preceding the First Balkan War, it remains something of a mystery to both scholars and students of European history. This book attempts to demystify the enigma.
