Anatomy Of Deceit- An American Physician's First-Hand Encounter With The Realities Of The War In Croatia

Rating:
Summary: Poor Research, Poor Book
Review: This is not a serious book. The author clearly has a pro-Croat Serb-hating axe to grind. Living in California and making a couple of adventure tours to Croatia, he knows little about the region, its politics or history. The book is full of errors, factual, spelling, characterization, and historical. There are literally dozens of books out there about the 1991-95 wars that broke up Yugoslavia, and this may be the weakest. Try Marcus Tanner's, Laura Silber's, or Misha Glenny's. The biases and lack of serious scholarship, the self-absorbed authorship, and the Croat nationalist leanings of this text make it one to avoid.

Rating:
Summary: Awful
Review: Under-researched, unedited, full of typos and errors. A right-wing physician returns from California to his native Croatia and writes a book about how evil Serbs are. Just racist nonsense by an outsider who really doesn't know much about the Balkans. Give it a pass. There are so many other books out there on the Yugoslav wars.
