Description:

Croatia's unique position at the crossroads of Europe--between Eastern and Western Christendom, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans and between the old Habsburg and Ottoman empires--has been both a curse and a blessing, inviting the attentions of larger and more powerful neighbors. The turbulence and drama of Croatia's past are vigorously portrayed in this powerful history. 20 illustrations.
