1. Mark Thompson's A Paper House: The Ending of Yugoslavia (New York: Pantheon, 1992), is particularly good on the western parts of the former Yugoslavia. His account of Istria is unique. Glenny's, Misha The Fall of Yugoslavia: The Third Balkan War (London: Penguin, 1992 Google Scholar, is episodic and sometimes hastily written, but provides a dramatic yet detached account.
