Book excerpt: This is a compelling account of numerous crimes and mass murders committed by Tito's Partisans after the end of WWII in Slovenia. The poignancy of the narrative is accentuated by the fact that the author wrote the book in 1989, when Slovenia was still a constitutive republic of the Social Federative Republic of Yugoslavia. At great personal risk the author did his research for the book and interviewed scores of eyewitnesses, including a number of survivors and perpetrators. The result is a chilling story of man's brutality to man and a window into the murderous dynamic of the Communist Party's seizure of power in Yugoslavia.
