“Black Lamb and Grey Falcon” was first published in 1942 and is Rebecca West's epic masterpiece, widely regarded as the most illuminating book to have been written on the former state of Yugoslavia.

Although more than half a century old, the book itself feels as immediate and important than as if it had taken place today, let alone that long ago. Although a serious work, West ensures that what you experience is done so with a sense of ironic humour and astute observation.

It is a work of enduring value that remains essential for anyone attempting to understand the enigmatic history of the Balkan states, and the continuing friction in this fractured area of Europe.
