A CONCISE HISTORY OF ALBANIA - BERND J FISCHER ...

A Concise History of Albania charts the history of Albania and its people  within their Balkan
and European contexts. It shows the country's journey from its ancient past  still shrouded in
mystery and controversy  through its difficult transition from a particularly brutal form of
communism to an evolving form of democracy and a market economy. Bernd Fischer and Oliver
Schmitt challenge some of the traditional narratives concerning the origins of the Albanians 
and the relations between Albanians and their Balkan neighbours. This authoritative and
up-to-date single-volume history analyses the political  social  economic  and cultural
developments which led to the creation of the Albanian state and the modern nation  as well as
Albania's more recent experience with authoritarianism  war  and communism. It greatly
contributes to our understanding of the challenges facing contemporary Albanians  as well as
the issues confronting the region as a whole as it attempts to grapple with one of the last
remaining significant ethnic issues in the Balkans.
