Marko Attila Hoare (born 1972) is a British historian of the former Yugoslavia who also writes about current affairs, especially Southeast Europe, including Turkey and the Caucasus.[1]

Biography

Hoare is the son of the British translator Quintin Hoare and the Croatian journalist and historian Branka Magaš.[2]

Hoare has been studying the history of the former Yugoslavia since 1993.[3] In the summer of 1995, he acted as translator for the humanitarian aid convoy to the Bosnian town of Tuzla, organised by Workers' Aid for Bosnia, a movement of solidarity in support of the Bosnian people.[4] His degrees in History are a BA (1994; later converted to an MA) from the University of Cambridge and a MPhil (1997) and PhD from Yale University (2000).[5]

In 1998–2001, he lived and worked in Belgrade, Serbia, and was resident there during the Kosovo War of 1999. He later worked as a war crimes investigator at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia,[6] where he participated in the drafting of the indictment against Slobodan Milošević.[4] Hoare was a research assistant at the Bosnian Institute in London (founded by his father Quintin[citation needed]), a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellow, a research fellow of the History Faculty of the University of Cambridge,[5] and a Reader at Kingston University in London.[5] He has been an associate professor at the Sarajevo School of Science and Technology since 2017.[7][8]

He was European Neighbourhood Section Director for the Henry Jackson Society.[9] In 2012, he resigned from the HJS, saying it had become "an abrasively right-wing forum with an anti-Muslim tinge", and over significant differences with associate director Douglas Murray.[10][11] He was also an advisory editor of Democratiya,[12] and he is a member of the editorial board of Spirit of Bosnia, an international, interdisciplinary, bilingual, online journal.[5] His blog, "Greater Surbiton", publishes his commentary and analysis, particularly on South East Europe.[13] He is a signatory of the Euston Manifesto,[14] and was formerly connected[vague] with the British website Harry's Place.[citation needed] He has written for Left Foot Forward website,[15] Prospect[16] and Standpoint magazines,[17] and The Guardian newspaper.[7]

Hoare was a childhood friend of Ed Miliband, leader of the Labour Party UK.[citation needed] In 2010, he appeared in Channel 4's TV docu-drama Miliband of Brothers, where he commented on his memories of Miliband and his brother David Miliband.[citation needed] In criticising the position of the Conservative London Mayor Boris Johnson, he has argued in favour of arming the opponents of Bashar al-Assad in Syria.[18]

Books

Hoare's historical writing has focussed in particular on the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina:

  • How Bosnia Armed: The Birth and Rise of the Bosnian Army (London, Saqi, 2004) - book examines the history of the Bosnian Army and Bosnian internal politics in the 1990s.
  • Genocide and Resistance in Hitler's Bosnia: The Partisans and the Chetniks, 1941–1943 (London, Oxford University Press, 2006) - book looks at the conflict between the Yugoslav Partisans and Chetniks in Bosnia during World War II.[19]
  • The History of Bosnia: From the Middle Ages to the Present Day (London, Saqi, 2007) - book focuses in particular on the history of national identity in Bosnia.[20]
  • The Bosnian Muslims in the Second World War: A History (London, C. Hurst & Co., 2013) - book looks at the role of the Bosnian Muslims in World War II.

Awards

Hoare is the recipient of the 2010 Congress of North American Bosniaks (CNAB) award for outstanding contributions to the advancement of history. The award is recognition for his lifelong dedication to presenting the historical truth and standing up against genocide denial.[21]
