As a journalist and witness to the collapse of Yugoslavia, Tanner provides a detailed and objective overview of Croatian history in this book. The author analyzes the rise, fall, and rebirth of Croatia through key historical periods: • Medieval roots: From the founding of the first Croatian state to its entry into a personal union with Hungary. • Foreign influences: The era of Ottoman invasions, the weakening of the country, and its integration into the Habsburg Monarchy. • Modern nationalism: The development of Croatian national consciousness following the French Revolution. • World War II: The circumstances that led to the creation of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) and the atrocities of the Ustaša regime. • Communist Yugoslavia: Tito’s attempt to resolve the "national question" and the inevitable, violent collapse of the federation following his death. • The Homeland War: A detailed account of the conflict in the 1990s, based on interviews with key political and military figures of the time. The first two leaves are missing—one blank, the other bearing the title of the work.
