Viktor Meier
"[Meier] knows the area and its politics extremely well...His
narrative is crisp and to the point, stressing what is essential.
It is also well organized and dense with information. Its is clear
why the earlier edition of his book was so well received by its

"While fascinating for the detail on the political maneuvering and
decisions of Yugoslavia's republican, federal, and party elites
that only specialist can appreciate, this book is more valuable as
an indictment of those responsible for Yugoslavia's
breakup.--Melissa Okovoy, University of New Mexico."

approach of others ... who have blamed the Slovenian government for
the irresponsible abandonment of Yugoslavia in an hour of
need.."
