Description: A former high ranking office in the Yugoslav National Army (YNA/JNA) writes a scathing and well-researched critique of the dominant accounts of the wars that dominated the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Decrying the nationalism and, as he calls it, "neofascism" of the period, one of the book's great strengths is its whose-who of anti-nationalists active during the period--from Slovenia to Croatia, Bosnia to Serbia. A necessary read to those who would conceptualize these conflicts as the result of "ancient hatreds", Radaković demonstrates their basis in coherent political projects by political oligarchies in Belgrade and Zagreb, and the subsequent campaigns of misinformation and violence.
