The Fall of Yugoslavia - Why Communism Failed (Hardcover)

A leading Yugoslav dissident offers valuable insights into the
demise of communism and the bloody mayhem that followed in its
wake.
The collapse of communism in Europe liberated Yugoslavia only to
see it plunge into a brutal civil war between religious, ethnic,
and nationalist factions. Why did communism's nonviolent end ignite
a nationalist war that has exacted such a high price in human
suffering?
International affairs scholar Svetozar Stojanovi? a member of the
famous Praxis group that resisted the communists has studied the
developments in his war-torn homeland. He examines the internal and
external factors that forced the transition from communist rule to
democracy and a free-market economy. His insider's,
behind-the-scenes look at the internal power struggles that pull
factions in various directions, examines the cultural weaknesses of
communism, the "capitalist encirclement" of Marxist-socialist
economies, communism's ideological decay, and the roles played by
Gorbachev and Yeltsin. The Fall of Yugoslavia also examines the
international reaction to these historic developments. Stojanovi?
urges the West not to fall victim to a "triumphalistic temptation,"
with as yet unforeseen consequences, but to anticipate and face the
problems in this volatile Yugoslav region.
