Handsomely presented and rigorously detailed, this is a captivating look at the art of propaganda ... Filmmaker Sarhandi delivers an unusual history of the Bosnian War (1992-1995) focused on propaganda posters created and distributed by various players in the conflict ... [He] lucidly explains the Balkans' complex political, religious, and ethnic divisions; and sketches how the rise of nationalist parties in Serbia and Croatia contributed to the conflict. But the book shines in its presentation and analysis of the posters themselves ... Detailed captions explain the meaning and background of each artwork, shedding light on the origins of anti-Muslim sentiment in Croatia, the horrors of the siege of Sarajevo, and Serbian nationalists' use of Vietnam War imagery to warn the U.S. to stay out of the conflict. --Publishers Weekly
