mine field of national prejudices ready to explode. Djilas enters
this mine field with courage but not recklessness. His

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 "

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 "
