Anatomy of Deceit: An American Physician's First-Hand Encounter with the Realities of the War in Croatia

New York: Dunhill Publishing, Co, 1997. Presumed first edition/first printing. Hardcover. Very good in good dust jacket. DJ has slight wear and soiling, with small edge wear.. 247 p. The war in former Yugoslavia may seem to be coming to a close with the implementation of the Dayton Peace Accords. However, it cannot completely end until the truth about its origins, its culprits, and its collaborators is both known and acknowledged. In this penetrating first-hand account of barbaric chauvinism and its tragic end results, Dr. Jerry Blaskovich shows how Slobodan Milosevic took a relatively peaceful, if unequal, federation of republics and turned it into a bloody slaughter ground of Serbian expansionism-a land grab aided and abetted by the international media, Western governments, and the U.N. He also shows how an unusual convergence of circumstances led Croatian physicians to fill a leadership vacuum in their newly independent nation and save it from both human and political collapse.
