"Truth is the first casualty of war"
San Francisco, Ca - The book that helped turn the tide in the propaganda
war against Croatia will soon be available in a greatly enlarged and expanded
third and final English edition. The first two editions were sent to hundreds
of journalists and libraries around the world to answer the myths most often
associated with Croatia. The Croatian University Press in Zagreb translated
the monograph into Croatian as Hrvatska - Mit I Istina and into Swedish
as Kroatien - Myt Och Sanning. Permission has also been given to
translate the monograph into German, Spanish, and French.
Croatia Myth & Reality - the Final Chapter includes a Guide to Pronunciation,
an extended historical outline of Croatia and the Croatians through 1996,
and answers such questions as: Did the Croatians ask to join Yugoslavia?
Did a Croatian assassinate King Alexander? Were all Croatians Fascists during
World War II? Did two million Serbs die at the hands of Croatians? Did Croatians
execute American airmen? Was there no retribution against Croatians after
World War II? Were borders drawn to benefit Croatia? Is there a Serbo-Croatian
language? Were Tudjman and Milosevic both converts from communism? Did Serbs
have no guaranteed rights in Croatia? Were streets named for fascists? Were
Holocaust records destroyed? Is the Croatian coat-of-arms a Fascist symbol?
Is Croatian currency fascist?
These and other myths are explored in a straight forward, easy to understand
format that has made the previous editions so successful. The third English
edition also includes an all-new annotated Bibliography to encourage further
reading and research and a dozen illustrations, many in color, Croatia
Myth & Reality - the Final Chapter will be the final English language
edition.
