Doesn't get much better than this (5/6 people found this helpful)

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!
