Albania and King Zog - Independence, Republic and Monarchy, 1908-1939

Informationen zum Autor Owen Pearson is an independent scholar, UK. Vorwort Presents a complete account of twentieth-century Albania, from its breakaway from the Ottoman Empire in 1908 to the Kosova War in 1999. Zusammenfassung Comprising original research and excerpts from rare Albanian sources, Albania and King Zog represents an unparalleled achievement in the scholarship of Albania. In fascinating detail, Pearson presents a complete account of twentieth-century Albania and chronicles the monarchy of King Zog and the wartime period where Albania became a battleground for the Greek, Italian and German armies. He describes Enver Hoxha's seizure of power, the country's fraught relationship with the post-Stalin Soviet Union and Maoist China's fraternal embrace of Albania, all leading to near-total isolationism and inevitable economic collapse. Pearson concludes with the genocide of Kosovar Albanians at the hands of the Serbian regime of Milosevic that characterised the last decade of twentieth century Albania. Albania and King Zog is a compendium of primary source material that provides a year-by-year and sometimes day-by-day account of Albania's modern history. It is an essential reference for all those interested in Albanian Balkan and Eastern European history.
