About this title

Synopsis

An excellent close-up look at the Yugoslavs before the collapse & before Tito's death. The author was born in Yugoslavia, grew up abroad, then returned as a newspaper correspondent. The book is particularly insightful because Doder was able to write about the very real fissures in Yugoslav society before it became politically incorrect to do so.--Gale A. KirkingA lively, well informed & sharply focussed picture of a pivotal nation & its people towards the end of Tito's regime--a 'country as yet to make its choice of civilizations'-- written by a correspomdent of the Washington Post who lived in Belgrade as chief of its Eastern Bureau (he was born in Yugoslavia)."Even a dictator's control over national life is tempered by the traditions & mental attitudes of his subjects. I have tried to look at Yugoslavia in terms of culture & civilisation, not just in terms of government."
