Vidosav Stevanovic ran the two biggest publishing houses in the Balkans before fleeing to exile in Paris where he now lives. He has written more than ten novels and won the Nin prize - Serbia's most prestigious literary award. Zlata Filipovic is the author of Zlata's Diary, her account of life in Sarajevo during the war. Written when she 12, it was an international bestseller, and has been translated into over 30 languages. She now lives in Dublin.
"Stevanovic has elegantly and mercilessly exposed the currents within Serbian society that made the Milosevic phenomenon possible." -The Sunday Times 'Much the best book about that sinister and mysterious figure that I have read: done with passion and a novelist's talent. It provides a mordant and brilliant analysis of vacillating Western attitudes, as well as a fascinating inside account of Serbian attempts to oppose him.' - Neal Ascherson, journalist and author of The Black Sea. The South Slav Journal, Vol. 25 No. 3-4 (97098) Autumn-Winter 2004: 'This is a convincing and valuable book on this subject, which will destroy many conventional idee recu, and will also be a valuable guide to the Yugoslav crisis for the uninitiated.'
