Bosnia in Historic Perspective - Paperback

by Muhammed Abdullah Al-Ahari (Author), Camil Jusuf Avdic (Author)

"Several years ago in Vienna, a historical discussion of Bosnia came from the pen of the renowned and reputable Bosnian Muslim intellectual Camil J. Avdic, who lives in the United States. Probably due to its economic scope and design, the work - which carries the title Bosna u historijskoj Perspektivi (Bosnia in historical perspective) - has not received the appropriate public attention, although it can be said to be an extremely interesting and a valuable contribution to the discussion about the historical fate of Bosnia." -- From a review in the Croatian journal "Croatia Zora"
