4.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, June 29, 1999
By A Customer
History in general is often writen by those victorious in times of war. As a result, the communist government of Yugoslavia following the Second World War, dominated by Serbs, replaced the reality of the region's history with a campaign based almost entirely on myth. Finally, however, a competent and credible work has been published challenging the continued presence of Serbian propodanda and their mythical attachment to the past. I commend Mr. McAdams for job well done, as well as long overdue.

4.0 out of 5 stars Historical Errors About Croatia Documented & Corrected, May 18, 1998
By A Customer
As an American interested in a balanced approach to history, I find McAdams book a well documented approach to presenting a truer picture of the Republic of Croatia.

It is easy to see from the numerous examples of Serbian and Yugoslav propaganda, why a book like this would cause such a strong reaction by supporters of Milosevic, Belgrade, and the "myth of a Greater Serbia."

Extremists who have tried to paint Croatia with a false brush using WWII examples to justify the death, destruction, and ethnic cleansing perpetrated on a FREE, DEMOCRATIC CROATIA, lose the propaganda justification for their illogical, illegal, and immoral war.

U.S. State Department officials and everyone dealing with the former Yugoslavia should have this book as required reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing!, April 7, 2005
Take advantage of this read, because it is rare to find one on the topic of Croatian myths that is so thorough. This is mainly because the world has become so accustomed to previous views proliferated by Serbians. Those who accuse it of being propaganda are simply being defensive, because they cannot handle the truth being revealed. Understandable, because how would you feel if what you took as fact is suddenly not so? However, these people need to realize that, with the help of McAdam's piece, these myths are just not what really happened. It was initially propaganda that embedded lies about Croatia, so how is that a better reality than that presented by McAdams, which is far from being propaganda? I am in no way excusing Croatia from their faults, but as you will find out after reading Myth & Reality, their actions, role, and place in this world is far different that what the average American believes.
