Described as a polemical work, without the usual support of bibliography and footnotes, this history explores the genocide in Croatia beginning in 1941 under the authority of

Ustasha and Catholic religious figures, including clergy. Among the atrocities described is the massacre of prisoners at Jasenovac concentration camp, in which an estimated 750,000 Orthodox Serbs were killed. Dedijer used eyewitness accounts and testimony from postwar trials of officials responsible.^[1]
