Shorter Notices
LONG years of newspaper work in Yugoslavia have made Mr. Harrison familiar with its scenery and its politics. His book, which is exceptionally well illustrated with photographs, gives a good account of the country, and a very fair summary of the political controversies that have had much to do with Yugoslavia's present misfortunes. Some readers will think Mr. Harrison unduly tem- perate in his comments on Yugoslavian politics, but the facts that he records are more important than his opinions. We can see from his pages that the new State tried a very risky experiment in uniting Serbs, Slovenes and Croats, and it is far too soon to conclude that this cannot succeed. Two appendices on the language and the cookery add to the value of a really useful book.
