Attack on Alex Salmond
Gallagher was accused of Islamophobia for his sweeping attack on Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond after the latter's nuanced response to the terrorist attack on Glasgow Airport. Gallagher 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]
Publications
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]
