A good, basic text is L.S. Stavrianos, _The Balkans since 1453_ (1958).
Although old, Ferdinand Schevill's _A History of the Balkan
Peninsula_(1922, reprint 1971) and William Miller, _The Ottoman Empire and
Its Successors, 1801-1927_ (1936) remain useful and informative.
Various volumes of the "History of East Central Europe" series are very
good, especially Charles and Barbara Jelavich, _The Establishment of the
Balkan National States, 1804-1920_ (1977) and Joseph Rothschild, _East
Central Europe between the Two World Wars_ (c. 1986). Rothschild
also has a more recent work on post-WWII EE, _Return to Diversity_ (1993).
On Serbia/Yugoslavia, per se, see Michael B. Petrovich, _A History of
Modern Serbia, 1804-1918_ (1976), Stephen Clissold, _A Short History
of Yugoslavia from Early Times to 1966_ (1966), and Vladimir Dedijer, et
al, _History of Yugoslavia_ (1974). The latter is more of less the
official Titoist version of things, most useful as an example of how
]matters of history and nationality were handled under that regime.
Also, keep an eye out for other, related works by Charles and Barbara
Jelavich and Peter Sugar.

PS, Paul Robert Magocsi's _Historical Atlas of East Central Europe_ is a
very useful reference.

Would anyone on the list recommend a book on the history of the region
called Yugoslavia? Not the crappola from the Clinton Cartoon Network, but
something that would teach me the players, and the historical background of
the area.
Thanks in advance.
