Overview

From the introduction: Throughout Serbias history no leader has risen to become as powerful and celebrated as Slobodan Miloevi_, or fallen as low. At the onset of the twenty-first century, he was instrumental in determining the Serbs fate, and also that of former Yugoslavia and the Balkans. And no woman throughout Serbian history (and few elsewhere) has been as influential as Miloevi_s wife, Professor Mira Markovi_. This book is about them, their regime, and the circumstances in which the Serbs encountered their greatest setbacks, and became global pariahs.Although there have been many attempts to tell Slobodan Miloevi_s story, Miloevi_ and Markovi_ is the first book to shows us the real person. Originally written in Serbo-Croatian by a Yugoslav journalist and driven underground in its native country, Miloevi_ and Markovi_ offers a first-hand account of Miloevi_s life, including the recent events in Kosovo. Slavoljub Djukic sheds light on Miloevi_s autocratic rule, showing how he, with his wife, Mira Markovi_, has dominated Serbias political life for the last twelve years first as president of Serbia and later as president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY).
