“A superb collection. . . . The courage, vigour and fair-mindedness which have survived in so many Yugoslavs through years of war and hysterical propaganda are all on display in Burn This House, by far the best book on the conflict that I have read so far. . . . True to its subtitle, this book gives a masterly account of the making as well as the unmaking of Yugoslavia. . . .”—Richard West, Times Literary Supplement

“[A] solid collection of articles for non-specialists. . . .”—Julia Mitric, Slavic and East European Journal

“Where Burn this House excels is in presenting a rare depth and breadth of approach in a single volume.”—James Frusetta, Nationalism and Ethnic Politics

“The early chapters make the impossibly dense history of the Balkan peninsula clear at last, while fresh insights abound about Yugoslavia’s birth ‘in the chaos and blood of World War I’ and about the Tito regime during and following World II. . . . By the time we get inside the present-day Balkans, we’ve learned how to see past the nationalistic slogans of politically controlled media and into the kind of ethnic cleansing only those who live there can adequately describe. . . . [Y]ou’ll know why this war is never going to be ‘over.’ ”—Holt Uncensored

“Udovicki and Ridgeway refuse to view the Yugoslavian conflict solely through the lens of ethnic hatred. They have collected local and international perspectives on a range of topics—media wars, the strange role of Tudjman, resistance in Serbia—that culminate in a complex portrait of the economic and political crisis that triggered the war.”—Village Voice

“This glorious and expertly edited, collaborative volume is one of the best guides to understanding the Yugoslav war of 1991–1995, providing readable historical background and balanced analyses of the war.”—Sabrina P. Ramet, HMJ School of International Studies, University of Washington, Seattle
