“An important contribution to understanding the perennial Balkan dilemma of a minorty’s position  among a majoirty seeking autonomy  or independence. . . . Miller’s painstaking detail revises important aspects of the standard work by Ivo Banac. . . . Highly recommended for all academic and larger public libraries.”
—Library Journal

“Nick Miller’s book is an overdue study of the rather promising political alliance between Croats and Croatian Serbs at the start of the twentieth century. Its persuasive case should drive a fatal spike into the notion that the subsequent violence between the two groups is the inevitable result of age-old antagonisms.”
—John R. Lampe, Woodrow Wilson Center

“A welcome addition to the scholarly literature about South Slavic history and politics. . . especially welcome because it dismisses the still relatively popular idea that the Croat-Serb antagonism is “age-old” or “ancient.” Miller shows that it is in fact quite recent, and that the period before the First World War was one of cooperation rather than confrontation, even though it did end in political failure.”
