The Accursed Mountains: Journeys In Albania – Robert Carver

Fascinating account of the author’s travels – geographical and historical, cultural and emotional – around Albania in 1996 during a brief window of (relative) safety in between the opening up of the country following the fall of Enver Hoxha and the riots/elections in 1997.

To quote from Dr M. Scott’s Amazon review, “Read it with an open mind and a weary heart for a nation which has been battered and tortured beyond belief.”
