"This book provides an authoritative vivisection of the goals, behavior, and strategies of the Serbian Orthodox Church, and sheds light on the chuavinism behind the myths of martyrdom. Byford's claims and conclusions are well supported by strong evidence, most of which comes from Church sources and Velimirović's own works. No serious student of Serbia should miss this impressive book." - Politics and Religion on Denial and Repression of Antisemitism

Memoir of Hungary
Sándor Márai
"A chronicle of political, social, and also spiritual
change in the capital as the Communist Party tightened
its grip on all phases of life…The forced propinquity
of the tall, elegant Middle European who spent his free
time absorbed in Spengler`s Decline of the West with
Russian, Kirghiz, and Buryat peasant boys was an eye-opener
to both sides."
- The New York Review of Books
This scathing, at times humorous, and always insightful
memoir by exiled Hungarian novelist Sándor Márai, author
of posthumous world success Embers, provides
one of the most poignant and human portraits of life
in Hungary between the German occupation in 1944 and
the consolidation of Communist power in 1948.
