Montenegro - A Modern History

In May 2006, following a closely and bitterly fought referendum, Montenegro finally regained the status of an independent nation that it had lost in 1918 - the most recent chapter in a highly turbulent history. Kenneth Morrison’s book is a must for anyone looking to understand a complicated history.

“Montenegro: A Modern History” charts the country’s contemporary history in accessible and comprehensive form. Kenneth Morrison explores the forces that have shaped the republic of Montenegro and questions where this will lead in the future, examining the fundamental issues of Montenegrin identity and statehood in a wider European as well as a Balkan context.

This full and authoritative modern history is essential reading for everyone interested in the political and social dynamics of one of Europe’s youngest states.
