The Balkans: A Short History

I got one or two good quotes from this book, but besides those it wasn't amazing. It was rather boring to be honest. I don't know if this is the book that put me off reading for a while or life just got busier than normal. I guess I'll find out when I try to start reading something else.
The one good part of this book is an explaination of cooperating Christians and Muslims living near border territories. Friends would often make pacts and become "brothers" and vow to save one another when necessary.
