Title: An excellent overview of the situation of the Balkans
Review: This book is about human tragedy, beliefs, pride, inat, history, religion, local culture, and foreign intervention and domination of a native population. It forces all Southern Slavs to look at themselves first as fellow Southern Slavs, and then to identify themselves by religion and politics. The novleist expresses it beautifully through dramatic incidents, which form a background to the present day political situation in the former Yugoslavia. The novel captivates the reader from beginning to the end. KNIFE tells us that history should not be concealed from the general public. Had the issues expressed in this novel been resolved immediately after World War II, the present Balkan situation would not have occurred. The media and US politicians could not have revised the history of the Southern Slavs. After all, Christianity, Islam, Fascism and Communism are foreign influences over which Southern Slavs fought, unfortunately with a knife.
