Product Description

Review

"[T]he author has succeeded in exploring his subject in a way which is both lively and genuinely informative. ... extremely well written, based on a wide range of relevant sources and sensible and generally persuasive in its judgements ... His discussion of the debate about the Holocaust is sophisticated and based on a thorough knowledge of the relevant debates." -- James Mayall, Cambridge University


Product Description

Comparing and contrasting Serbian and Croatian propaganda from 1986 to 1999, this text analyses each group's contemporary interpretations of history and current events. It offers a detailed discussion of holocaust imagery and the history of victim-centred writing in nationalist theory, including the links between the comparative genocide debate, the so-called holocaust industry and Serbian and Croatian nationalism. There is a detailed analysis of Serbian and Croatian propaganda over the Internet, detailing how and why the Internet war was as important as the ground wars in Kosovo, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and a theme-by-theme analysis of Serbian and Croatian propaganda, using contemporary media sources, novels, academic works and journals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't get much better than this, 4 Feb 2004
By RM (London Colney, HE UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Macdonald has written an original book on a very daunting and sensitive subject for many. He uses books, articles and even web site articles to compared Serbian and Croatian victim-centered propaganda. Unlike many historians who have been influenced by one side or another and therefore only analyse one groups' propaganda skills, Macdonald looks at both equally.

This is not a book which gives a historical account of the recent conflict between Serbs and Croats, so if you are looking for something along those lines, I suggest you look elsewhere.
Macdonald objectively and dispassionately analyses the way Serbia and Croatia have have exploited the image of Jewish suffering to help their own causes, by claiming that they have suffered the same (if not more, according to some!) as the Jews.
He looks at particular historical events and analyses their propagandistic value.

As his bibliography is so extensive, he also analyses and criticises the works of Croatian and Serbian scholars and propagandists, such as Boze Covic, Philip Cohen, Slobodan Zecevic and others. A highly recommended book!
