Modern Albania: From Dictatorship to Democracy in Europe by Fred C. Abrahams.

In the early 1990s, Albania began a transition out of forty years of self-imposed Communist isolation. Albanians who were not allowed to practice religion, travel abroad, wear jeans, or read “decadent” Western literature began to devour the outside world.

History of Albania (Albanian Studies) (Volume 1) by Tajar Zavalani.

The History of Albania by Tajar Zavalani (1903-1966) is the first full-length history of Albania to have been written in English. It covers the period from ancient times to the mid-twentieth century and provides the reader with a good overview of the historical development of this Balkan nation.
