"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

CEU Press Classics

Publishing CEU Press Classics started with the series named Central European Classics. Timothy Garton Ash, founding general editor of the series, began to note down titles recommended to him by local writers in dim cafés in Prague and Budapest in the early 1990s. His aim, to take these works of nineteenth- and early twentieth century classic fiction 'out of the ghetto,' onto the shelves of Western booksellers, and into the consciousness of Western readers has been successfully achieved.

The success of the series, producing seven books between 1993-2001, prompted the CEU Press to bring out further classics from eastern and central Europe from 2007 onwards in the CEU Press Classics series.
