Balkan Ghosts
Robert D. ... This book is a solid historical narrative of each country, which Kaplan has coupled with a mix of his contemporary thought largely begotten through his conversations with local politicians, journalists, and travelers.
Argument - During the book, he repeatedly boasts about his being a pioneer for having traveled though the Balkans and making his accounts. ... Although his assessment of reporters may have elements of truth, he seems to make the point numerous times throughout the book as if to create his own air of superiority. ... His books include Eastward to Tartary: Travels in the Balkans, the Middle East, and the Caucasus (2000), The Coming Anarchy: Shattering the Dreams of the Post Cold War (2000), An Empire Wilderness: Travels Into Americas Future (1998), The Ends of the Earth (1995), The Arabists: The Romance of an American Elite (1993), and Balkan Ghosts: A Journey Through History (1993). ...
Conclusion - Balkan Ghosts delves into the current situation on the ground, and historical events of a region that, by the end of the book, seem to be the source for most of the trouble in the world, past and present.
