Title: a Chomskyist interpretation of Yugoslavia
Review: This is a relatively short overview of Yugoslavia from 1918 to its final demise in 2003. The first half of the book covers the creation of Yugoslavia, its WW2 break-up and its re-creation as a socialist federation under Marshall Tito. The chapters are brief and straightforward with little new information.The second half of the book tends to stray into the realm of suspicion and paranoia that is a staple for this part of the world. Hudson unfortunately sees everything that happened in Yugoslavia since 1980 as a consequence of American capitalist imperialism.By the end, I was really tired of this book, even tho it is less than 200 pages. If you want a more objective look at why Yugoslavia so tragically shattered into pieces, look elsewhere. If you want proof that Uncle Sam is manipulating the entire world out of sheer geopolitical aggression, here is your champion.
Is the review positive or negative?
