Twenty Years of Balkan Tangle
"Twenty Years of Balkan Tangle" by M. E. Durham is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complexities and intricacies of Balkan politics and society during a tumultuous period leading up to World War I. The author's personal journey through various Balkan regions, including Montenegro and Serbia, serves as a lens through which she examines the underlying tensions, national identities, and plots that shaped this region's history. The opening of the book describes the author's arrival in Montenegro around 1900, where she begins to realize the profound entanglements of Balkan politics. Exhausted from caring for a relative, she embarks on a journey that sparks her fascination with the Near East. Travelling through scenic areas and witnessing the contrast between local cultures, she hints at the brewing tensions among the Balkan nations and the looming threat of broader conflict. Her vivid impressions capture the essence of the local populace, their customs, and the intense political rivalries, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the Balkan landscape shaped by history, nationalism, and foreign interference.
