He published a book in late 1991 or early 1992, saying that the federal
government of Yugoslavia had been undermined by Serbia, and that it
was a mistake to try to keep the country together; they should let it
split without violence. I remember agreeing with this. It would have
been nice to be able to keep the country together, but after what Serbia
did (threatening the other nationalities, blocking the federal government,
hijacking the army, taking money on its way from the central bank) it
would scarcely have been possible.
Or is this a newer book by him?

Well, I hope it won't turn into too much of a job! But I can see some
rewriting and clarification is called for.
Cheers,
