<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> Though persistently overshadowed by the Great War in historical memory, the two Balkan conflicts of 1912-1913 were among the most consequential of the early twentieth century. By pitting the states of Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Montenegro against a diminished Ottoman Empire--and subsequently against one another--they anticipated many of the horrors of twentieth-century warfare even as they produced the tense regional politics that helped spark World War I. Bringing together an international group of scholars, this volume applies the social and cultural insights of the "new military history" to revisit this critical episode with a central focus on the experiences of both combatants and civilians during wartime.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p> <em>"This is a well-curated and well-intended collection of essays. The editors and contributors have brought considerable knowledge and insight of the Balkan wars into the mainstreams of the New Military History. The collective linguistic and research scope of the contributors is comprehensive. Students and scholars of southeastern Europe will read these essays with profit, but it is the fields of European and global war studies that will benefit most from this excellent volume."</em> <strong>- Slavic Review</strong></p> <p> <em>"This excellent volume is a timely addition to the literature on the Balkan Wars and beyond. Its versatility, diversity, and empirical depth are bound to make a serious impact in the field."</em> <strong>- Uğur Ümit Üngör</strong>, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Sabine Rutar</strong> is a Senior Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies.
