About this title

Synopsis

"The Serbs" was originally a series of lectures delivered by the renowned British historian R.G.D. Laffan. Professor Laffan’s lectures became so famous they were collected and published in book form. Out of print for many years, "The Serbs" is the classic book on an important but misunderstood people. Too many of us only know the Serbs as precipitators of World War I, when a Serbian nationalist assassinated Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand in 1914 causing Austria to declare war. But Serbian history is eventful and filled with intrigue. Anyone interested in a historical perspective on a great and heroic people will find "The Serbs" as absorbing as it is inspiring. For, as Professor Laffan writes, "The Serbs have shown that, despite adversity and homelessness, their spirit remains unconquerable."
