"A crisply written, succinct book based on prodigious research in the archives and a strong knowledge of the secondary research and key controversies."--Marko Attila Hoare, author of The Bosnian Muslims in the Second World War: A History"In this ambitious study, Alexander Prusin offers a serious and scholarly account of the Serbian collaborationist state during World War II. . . . The result is a balanced and useful history of a still-contested period in Serbia 's history. Well worth reading."--Sabrina P. Ramet, author of The Three Yugoslavias: State-Building and Legitimation in Yugoslavia, 1918-2005 "What the book provides is a concise and well-supported examination of how these phenomena played out within a specifically Serbian context. . . . For those with research or teaching interests in Balkan history, the Second World War, or twentieth-century Europe, Serbia under the Swastika is worth a careful read."--H-Net"Recommended."--Choice "Serbia under the Swastika succeeds as a modest little volume about one corner of a larger national tragedy. . . . Prusin seems to have mastered much of the original wartime and early post-war documentation plus a plethora of recent sources from the post-Yugoslavia Balkans."--Stone & Stone Second World War Books "Prusin does a good job of sorting through the many factions of Serb/Yugoslav/Balkan politics, collaboration, and resistance, making this a very useful read for anyone interested in the Balkans or the history of military occupation."--The NYMAS Review "Prusin has made an important and very welcome contribution to the literature on wartime Yugoslavia, one that comes highly recommended to students, specialists, and interested laypeople alike." --Slavic Review
