The Pivotal Role of Bosnia in World History

Reed Deer – WEBWIRE – Sunday, June 9, 2019

Bosnian Phoenix addresses a host of myths about Bosnia and presents insight into this country and what it offers to the world.

The bloody conflict that erupted in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s was and remains puzzling to many in North America. Much of the war was fought in the heartland of Bosnia, a country whose history and culture are unfamiliar to many today.

Miljan Peter Ilich, in his text, “Bosnian Phoenix: How Bosnia Saved Europe and Made Possible the Modern Age,” seeks to fill in the gaps in knowledge with reference to this fascinating country. This book is perfect for anyone interested in the history of Europe or looking to understand the impact Bosnia had on the course of human history.

Ilich illustrates the role Bosnia played in European history. He explains how Bogomilism, a strand of Christianity based in Bosnia, greatly influenced the development of the Protestant religion. It was especially important in France, where it helped to inspire the Cathar movement. Bosnia was on the frontlines of the battle to stop the Ottoman invasions of Europe and her subsequent defeat by the Turks created a panic on the European continent.

Bosnia’s role in the tragedy that led to the outbreak of the cataclysm of World War I is also examined. Ilich brilliantly demonstrates Bosnia’s pivotal role in the development of the world as we know it today. He shows that a strong Bosnian culture and identity existed despite the influence of numerous countries and nationalities.

This book is based on years of original research. Vast new insight is developed from many primary sources.

Ilich’s masterful book on Bosnia recaptures its rightful place in history and is a must read for anyone looking to learn more about this intriguing country and its influence on the development of the modern age.

“Bosnian Phoenix: How Bosnia Saved Europe and Made Possible the Modern Age” will be displayed in the upcoming Word on the Street, the biggest literary events in Canada this year on June 9 in Saskatoon, September 14 in Halifax, on September 21 in Lethbridge, and lastly on September 22 in Toronto.
