Black Lamb and Grey Falcon Reviews

It is hard to convey the flavour of a book so rich in observation, history, philosophy, political ideas and ironic humour. * * The Times * *
As a book about Yugoslavia it's a kind of metaphysical Lonely Planet that never requires updating. -- Geoff Dyer
It is a brilliant antidote to the disease that would have us believe that these are faraway countries about which we know nothing. * * Scotsman * *
impossible to put down, both timeless and of its time - a travel book and epic narrative history brimming with passion, anger, scholarship and intuition, hatred and love. * * Observer * *
Dame Rebecca, the finest reporter of her generation, saw everything...it is a remarkably easy read. * * Sunday Telegraph * *
