Praise for this book

"[A] brilliant essay."--Pierre Hassner, Critique Internationale

"[A] brilliantly compact expose of the twentieth-century diplomat's favourite folly. In this small gem of a book, Kumar places the West's multicultural solution to the Bosnian war in a long, inglorious line of botched partitions."--Boyd Tonkin, The Independent

"A well-researched, thorough and readable account."--Shashi Tharoor, Executive Assistant to the Secretary General, UN

"An erutite study of partition ... presents a thorough critical history of the war and the various peace plans which laid the path to partition."--Gregory Kent, Irish Times

"Elegant and concise ... a compelling narrative."--Choice
