Croatia: A History

The book explores the historical significance of the boundary established in the fourth century when the Roman Empire divided into Western and Eastern empires. This division, which runs from the Montenegrin coast up the river Drina to the confluence of the Sava and Danube, has persisted for 1,500 years, marking a cultural and religious divide between the Catholic West and the Orthodox East on Slav territory. The enduring nature of this boundary highlights its impact on European history and identity.
