Negative Positive
Title: Clear perspective
Review: Mr. Anzulovic is clearly attempting to present a Croatian view of the Serbs. Is this bad? Not necessarily, as long as the reader understands the specific viewpoint of any author. He attempts to examine Serbian intellectual thought, folk music and myth-making against a larger European intellectual and literary scene. This is at best a partial success as the author has predetermined his conclusions and is writing to prove baleful influence on Serb behavior over the centuries.I must note that, despite other reviewer's comments, Anzulovic does show occasional flashes of impartiality, by inclusion of more than one set of numbers for people killed at Jasenovac. Is this an impartial book? NO!Is this the perspective of one of the participants in the recent insane Balkan Wars? Yes. Readers must always remember this.
