Djilas has done an outstanding job of integrating the tragic history of pre-World War II Yugoslavia with postwar Commu nist policy. This timely book explains why national consciousness became the pervasive fact of pre-Communist Yugoslavia and exposes the chimera that na tional difference "would inevitably be erased by socialism, progress, and com munism." Some readers will object to Djilas's emphasis on the effects of ex tremist Croatian nationalism, yet this work probably remains the best English complement to Ivo Banac's magisterial The National Question in Yugoslavia (Cornell Univ. Pr., 1984). Recommended for academic and larger public libraries.
-Zachary T. Irwin, Penn State-Erie
Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. To write about the national question [of] Yugoslavia is to enter a mine field of national prejudices ready to explode. Djilas enters this mine field with courage but not recklessness. His evenhandedness is impressive...He provides remarkably dispassionate descriptions of a wide range of movements, ideologies, personalities, and evils...His book should be essential reading for anyone interested in Yugoslavia's troubled past and doubtful future.
--Dennison Rusinow (New York Times Book Review )

What can explain the inability of Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Macedonians, Muslims, Albanians, and Hungarians to come to a peaceful settlement of their differences?...Djilas explain[s] all this and more...with verve, intelligence, and a superb mastery of facts.
--Istvan Deak (New Republic )
