This book tells the story of Kosovo's independence, from the periodic bloodshed of the twentieth century to the diplomacy that led to a determination of Kosovo's final status as a state in 2008. Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in February 2008, over the objection of Serbia and Russia. This culminated more than a hundred years of sometimes violent resistance to what the majority Albanian population considered to be "occupation" by foreign forces - first those of the Ottoman Empire, then those of Serbia, and finally by the United Nations. Kosovo's independence was the product of careful diplomacy, orchestrated by the United States and leading members of the European Union, under a framework brokered by former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari, who subsequently won the Nobel Prize for Peace.

reviewed The Road to Independence for Kosovo: A Chronicle of the Ahtisaari Plan on November 06, 2019 The Road to Independence for Kosovo
Unfortunately it's been probably a month since I read this so all of my clever observations have been forgotten.
Ultimately I enjoyed the book. Some parts were too academic, and some didn't provide enough specifics about the research - probably less of an issue if you aren't a big nerd. Many of the comments on 'gaming culture' are incredibly dated since 10 years is an eternity in any technology field. However, some of the predictions or suggestions have proven very true which is interesting in its own way.
It was really interesting to read some of the more anectdotal parts of the book and really see myself and my gaming preferences. Preferences I had never consciously realized that I had were detailed or predicted - things like an emphasis on walk-throughs and character customization, for example.
It was a bit of a chore to get through, but it was certainly a fascinating read for me. It covered a wide range - some research, some interviews, some geared towards education, some more towards the social and cultural aspects of gaming. Even if you don't make it through the whole book, I think there are certainly interesting enough parts to merit a read if you're interested in video games.
