Assigned reading.

The history parts are fine, and the language stuff as well. However, the author paints with a very broad brush when she talks about "the Serbian people" or "the Serbian culture." Too many sweeping generalizations. Perhaps that is difficult to avoid in an introductory piece, but it's inherently misleading.

Anyway, good in part.
I bought this for someone else who is a tour leader in the Balkans. She says this book is great.
Excellent book. I learned a lot about my mother's native land.
This was a good intro to Serbia, with lots of history and useful cultural tidbits. There was even some practical information on getting to Serbia and getting around. The only thing I would supplement is the language section--the list of phrases was pretty short, so we had to supplement with some of our own research. Otherwise, it had everything we needed to know for our trip.
Tons of information, very well presented. Excellent to read before a trip.
This is a highly accessible and contemporary overview of modern Serbia that provides a solid briefing for the first-time visitor.
We always want to be respectful of the cultures and countries we visit. We appreciated the insight in this quick read reference!
very nice book
