Albania and the Balkans
A new book of interest
Albania and the Balkans: Essays in honour of Sir Reginald Hibbert
Editor: James Pettifer
"Reginald Hibbert parachuted into Albania in 1943, part of the Special Operations Executive clandestine operations against Axis occupation. After World War II he followed a distinguished career as a British diplomat, ending as Ambassador to Paris. He was a pivotal figure in the scholarly controversies about Albania and Kosovo and their emergence into the Balkans conflicts in the 1990’s.
This collection of essays by distinguished students of Albanian and Balkan history and international relations is written as a tribute to Hibbert and his life and work. It opens up new perspectives on a range of topics central to the dramatic history of the region, and to the continuing international attempt to shape it.
‘An excellent collection of essays, offering fresh and important perspectives on the recent history and politics of modern Albania and the Balkans’
Dr Roderick Bailey, author of The Wildest Province: SOE in the Land of the Eagle
