      The book delves into the complexities of Serb politics during the Yugoslav disintegration, highlighting the disunity that contradicted the nationalist call for unity. It critically examines the roles of leaders like Slobodan Milosevic, revealing that local leaders often operated independently. The analysis challenges the notion that popular attitudes drove hardline nationalism, suggesting instead that control over economic and coercive resources was more influential. This work enhances understanding of intra-ethnic rivalries, drawing parallels with conflicts in Israel/Palestine, Northern Ireland, and Rwanda.
