It will be up to historians, Balkanologists, and political scientists to sort out the impact of Cohen's study upon their disciplines. In the following pages, I intend to discuss briefly the larger, contextual significance of this study. The most important context, of course, is that the current Balkan War raged (and continues still) even as Cohen was writing this book. The now standard responses to the current Balkan War can be summa¬rized as follows: All sides are equally guilty; the fighting is horrible, but we can't do anything to stop it; the bloodshed is contained in the territory of the former Yugoslavia, so it has no larger meaning for those who do not live there. These rationalizations have eased Western consciences in the short-run, but will not stand up to honest scrutiny in the long run. In the first place, respected Western fact-gathering organizations have concluded that the overwhelming majority of the atrocities and one hundred percent of the genocide in the current Balkan War were committed by Serbs. Geno¬cide is the most serious of international war crimes, and the West failed to put a stop to it. Second, and in contrast to other instances of genocide, this one in the Balkans was televised. Thus, the rationalization given for geno¬cide in World War II, that "we didn't know," does not hold for the genocide in the Balkans. Thanks to the information revolution, nearly everyone in Western countries knows about this genocide. | | Contents note: | Croatian and Serbian Pronunciation; The Roots of Serbian Fascism; The Serbian State, 1941-1944; Serbian Complicity in the Holocaust; Collaboration and Resistance in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina; Serbian Historical Revisionism and the Holocaust; | | Link for e-copy: | http://books.google.com/books?id=Fz1PW_wnHYMC&printsec=frontcover&dq=97808909676 [...] | | Format of e-copy: | http:// | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=14195 |
