Comparatively little is well known about Europe's newest and one of its smallest independent states: the small mountain fastness Montenegro. In a book written for specialists and general readers alike, Elizabeth Roberts traces its history from pre-Slavic times, including its part in the 1389 battle of Kosovo and its prominent role in resisting the Ottomans. She recounts Montenegro's development under its Prince-Bishops toward the independence achieved at the Congress of Berlin and lost after the Versailles Conference when the Podgorica Assembly voted to join the new Kingdom of Yugoslavia. When Slobodan Milosevic spoke of Montenegro and Serbia as "two eyes in the same head," he encapsulated a view that has deep roots in both nations. But not all Montenegrins agreed, and many chafed at being forced to play the role of Serbia's junior partner. Indeed, Montenegro's complex and shifting cultural and political identity is the main theme of Roberts's witty and dispassionate book, which culminates in Montenegro's defining referendum and subsequent international recognition in the summer of 2006.The history of Montenegro is at once a colorful, often bloodily violent story and instructive about how land, religion, and politics (both domestic and international) have intersected over centuries to shape and reshape cultural identities in Southeastern Europe. Students of national identity have much to learn from the Montenegrin case, and general readers will be enthralled by the dramatic tale that unfolds in Realm of the Black Mountain.

Lonely Planet Montenegro (Travel Guide)

In the forbidding beauty of the mountains of Montenegro, with World War I already a dark prophecy on the horizon, an English traveller with a keen interest in the tangled politics of the Balkans happens upon a remote valley. Auberon Harwell is the confidential agent of a powerful English peer who sees advantage in the decline of the Ottoman Empire and threat in the rise of Austria-Hungary. Caught between these powers are the Montenegrin Serbs, whose greatest hero is Danilo Pekocevic patriarch of the valley. He dreams of yet another empire, the one his ancestors lost to the Turks on the Field of Kosovo five hundred years ago. His only son, Toma, loves a girl he cannot marry, the daughter of a neighboring Muslim landowner. Harwell, against all reason and hope, falls in love with Toma's mother, who prays that her son may emigrate to escape this burden of violence and vengeance. Will Harwell help her? Both Harwell and Toma are bound by agonizing choices and the obligations of honor, duty, and love. From these flow the events of a memorable drama that sets individual destinies, vividly imagined, against the taut background of an unfinished history.
