Attack on Alex Salmond
His attacks on Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond after the latter's nuanced response to the terrorist attack on Glasgow Airport has duly brought forth accusations of Islamophobia. In the same attack he also accused Salmond of pandering to 'minorities' -- 'as Scotland's answer to Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt or the Irish leader Michael Collins'.[3]

His two most recent books are The Balkans in the New Millennium (Routledge, 2005) and The Balkans After the Cold War: From Tyranny to Tragedy (Routledge, paperback edition, 2005). His Theft of a Nation: Romania since Communism (Hurst & Co, 2005) is published in the United States as Modern Romania.[4]
