"""This is a work of impressive scholarship: accessible, erudite and multi-dimensional in scope. Hoare offers a detached and probing account of the developments that have made Serbia a fateful presence in the story of Europe over several centuries."" -- Thomas Gallagher, Emeritus Professor of Politics, University of Bradford""Serbia is a pivotal state in today's Balkans, but its history is little understood in the West. In this admirably clear, pathbreaking history, Hoare warns against interpreting the past in terms of our present preoccupations, but shows instead how a modern state emerged with dilemmas which have continued to shape the region."" -- Martin Shaw, Emeritus Professor of International Relations, University of Sussex?An excellent overview of Serbia's modern history, the author traces the political evolution and trends that culminated in the formation of Serbia and later Yugoslavia. This is a valuable addition to the region's historiography, shedding light on the pivotal two centuries leading to the intricate developments of the twentieth century.? -- Sonja Biserko, President, Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia?This is a work of impressive scholarship: accessible, erudite and multi-dimensional in scope. Hoare offers a detached and probing account of the developments that have made Serbia a fateful presence in the story of Europe over several centuries.? -- Thomas Gallagher, Emeritus Professor of Politics, University of Bradford?Marko Hoare brings his usual erudition and meticulous attention to detail to his latest book-a history of Serbia from 1804 to 1941. His research is impressive; scholars interested in Serbian history should celebrate the publication of this work.? -- Sabrina P. Ramet, author of The Three Yugoslavias: State-Building and Legitimation, 1918-2005"
