The Yugoslav Drama - Hardcover
As the drama in Yugoslavia continues to unfold, many questions remain unanswered: What went wrong? Was Yugoslavia an artificial country? How could such a well respected country turn into a nightmare of hatred and sorrow? When and how will it all end?

From the Back Cover:
Former Yugoslavian ambassador Mihailo Crnobrnja describes and analyses the deterioration of the Yugoslavian federation and the political forces that fostered it, particularly the presence of nationalism and the absence of democracy. He discusses in detail the part of the drama most visible to the world - the rapid dissolution of the country following civil war and internationalization. The updated second edition provides an evaluation of events over the last two years and the prospects for a lasting peace following the Dayton Accord.
Review:
"The Yugoslav Drama is a first-class examination of the tragedy that has overtaken that benighted country. Hopefully it will help us all learn from this disaster how to prevent similar occurrences in the future." Lawrence S. Eagleburger, former United States Secretary of State. "One of the best of the many recent books on the subject ... Crnobrnja's account of Yugoslavia's collapse and the forces that led to it is lucid, thoughtful, well-written and comprehensive ... This book offers great insight into the tortured demise of a once-stable federation." John M. Fraser, Ottawa Citizen. "Crnobrnja has provided a highly readable and historically informed account of the disintegration of the south Slav federation. His narrative underscores what many Western journalists and politicians have normally ignored: that the failure of Yugoslavia was the failure of politics, not the triumph of 'ancient hatreds' or 'Balkan mentalities.'" Charles King, International Journal.
