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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jerry Blaskovich's superb book is based on his own experience of the Serbian invasion, occupation, and ethnic cleansing of no less than one third of Croatia. Much of the horrors he relates are genuinely disturbing. Apart from his own experiences, he takes time to debunk all sorts of nonsense put out by the Serbs.
It should be remembered that the Serbs had control of the propaganda machinery in Yugoslavia; Croatia therefore had none. As a consequence, many naïve journalists and politicians went to Yugoslav sources for information, completely unaware of the fact that such sources were in fact Serbian ones. Hence the bizarre myths such as "Serbs fought the Nazis", "all sides guilty", "Serbs persecuted in Croatia" etc. These were deployed against the Croats to prevent western intervention, so that genocide and ethnic cleansing could proceed apace to create an obscene Nazi style "Greater Serbia" state. Blaskovich gives full details of all the various propaganda scams.
The fact that the Yugoslav Army was Serbian controlled and that Croatia (weaponless) did not invade Serbia gives the game away as to who the aggressor was in the war; Blaskovich also elaborates on the Serb dominated nature of the old Yugoslavia.
Despite the horrors he describes, this is ultimately a positive work. There is much energy in this book, enthusiasm for Croatia and a forceful rebuttal of propaganda. As such, it most readable.
This is a truthful book. To verify its accuracy, I strongly recommend Marcus Tanner's " Croatia : A Nation Forged in War" As Mr Tanner is British, his impartiality is not in doubt.
