«Building a Multiethnic Military in Post-Yugoslav Bosnia-Herzegovina offers the first history of how the three separate militaries in existence when the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina ended were integrated into one multi-ethnic armed force, in the face of wartime legacies and post-war polarisations. Short's detailed account complicates the idea that peace inevitably led to the integration of the military, and is indispensable for any reader interested in Bosnian defence reform or how the Bosnian example might illuminate relationships between the military and society elsewhere.»

«This meticulous study on the army gives the reader insight into Bosnia and Hercegovina’s core strengths and achievements since 1995. Short’s work is likely to be if great interest to regional and military expects and scholars of national identity.»
