Wow. The book wasn't perfect by any means, but with a subject so fascinating it hardly had to be - plus, I feel like I have at least somewhat of an understanding of the horrifying confusion that was the '90s Balkan War(s) now. ( )

Very well done history of Arkan and how he became a criminal, as well as what happened before and during the breakup of Yugoslavia. Easy to read and compelling. I couldn't put it down. It was an excellent biography of Arkan's rise and his life and the war in Yugoslavia and his part in it. It was very easy to read and totally gripping. ( )
