*"Finally, a Croatian history book that reads like a political thriller! The chapter on the 16th-century Ottoman-Habsburg wars left me breathless-especially how peasants fortified churches into strongholds. The analysis of the Hungarian-Croatian union? Revolutionary. Not a single dull page."*
- Ivan K. (Verified Purchase)
