From one of the most prominent nationalist voices in late
twentieth-century Europe comes this controversial volume on the
persistence of violence from past eras into present-day. Franjo
Tudjman was once the face of Croatian democracy and sovereignty-a
position complicated by his roles as general, president, and
historian, and his role in the Bosnian War. Here he examines the
Yugoslav Communist creation of a Croatian "black legend" and
assesses the nature and scope of the crimes committed by the
Ustasha puppet government, particularly at the Jasenovac death
camp. He chronicles the systematic use by the Yugoslav regime of
Jasenovac and the Ustasha terror as a tool in its attempt to
eliminate Croatian aspirations towards independence. Readers of
this book will have a candid insight into the mind of a notable and
notorious player in contemporary European history. With this
book-at once a memoir, a political document, and a broad historic
philosophical survey-Tudjman proposes a foundation upon which to
build a new creative framework of peace-oriented relationships for
the twenty-first century. Horrors of War provides an unparalleled
view on the history of national violence from the perspective of a
man who played a key role in both the Croatian War of Independence
and the later Bosnian War; a sometimes hero, sometimes villain.
