World in Conflict series.
A solid overview of ethnic discord in the former Yugoslavia traces the conflict's historical roots, identifies adversaries and their positions, and discusses efforts to bring peace to the region. The book is somewhat dated by subsequent events in Bosnia. Information boxes and serviceable color photos break up the off-putting three-column text. A time line is included. Bib., ind.

YA
World in Conflict series.
The text offers a thorough, unbiased look at the history and background of the conflict between the region's Catholic and Protestant inhabitants. Chapters include "The Recent Conflict and its Effects," "The Conflict's Roots," and "What's Being Done to Solve the Problem." Maps, photos, sidebar explanations, and a chronology enhance the book, which, unfortunately, features an unattractive triple-column format. Bib., ind.
