First published in 1997, this volume aims to present a new perspective on the history of the Serbs in the twentieth century, viewing this period through the lives of its most significant Serb participants. Its contributors represent a diverse variety of backgrounds, coming from different countries, academic disciplines, intellectual traditions and generations.

The aim of this book is to present a new perspective on the history of the Serbs in the twentieth century through the lives of its most significant Serb participants. Nikola Pasic, Dragutin Dimitirjevic-Apis, Radomir Putnik, King Peter, King Aleksandar, Prince Pavle, Dragoljub-Draza Mihailovic and Slobodan Milosevic whose lives are profiled in the books were, in the opinion of the editors, in position significantly to shape the destiny of the Serbs. In reviewing their life and achievements, the dilemmas facing the Serbs and their leaders in the twentieth century should hopefully become clearer as well. As each of the eight leaders exercised power and influence at critical times, each of them is in many ways still a controversial figure. In order to provide the necessary historical background, in the first chapter Peter Radan offers a brief overview and assessment of the course of the history of the Serbs during the twentieth century.

Guide
The aim of this book is to present a new perspective on the history of the Serbs in the twentieth century. The new perspective is to view this historical period through the lives of its most significant Serb participants. In selecting the lives to be profiled we chose those individuals, who we felt were in positions of real power and influence and significantly shaped the destiny of the Serbs. We do not deny that other Serbs were of importance and influence. We concede that many readers would have chosen a different and/or longer list. Ultimately, any select list of individuals will reflect the views of its compilers, and we readily recognise that the present volume of essays reflects our own personal biases.
The present volume, in no way, pretends to be a comprehensive narrative of Serb history during the twentieth century. Nor, using the biographical perspective, could it be. Nevertheless, even accounting for the limitations of the biographical perspective, there is no biographical chapter covering the period of Yugoslavias history during the life of Josip Broz Tito. There were two possible candidates for inclusion in this volume from this period - Milovan Djilas and Aleksandar Rankovi. Djilas was excluded, in part, on the ground that he did not, in any event, consider himself a Serb. Rankovi was ruled out on the basis that very little is known of the degree of influence he possessed during his tenure in office. The ease with which he was removed from office would, however, suggest that it was not of a kind possessed by the other individuals portrayed in this volume.
The contributors of the biographical chapters to this volume represent a diversity of backgrounds. They come from different countries, different academic disciplines, different intellectual traditions, and different generations. Given their varied backgrounds, there was no point in trying to impose upon them a common general framework within which their contributions were to be written. Instead, all the authors were given a free hand as to how they approached the writing of their contribution. As a result, there is no attempt to evaluate the contribution of each author on the basis of a single set of criteria. We recognise such an approach could detract from the value of this volume. However, any such loss, we hope, is more than compensated for by the varied approaches taken by each author.
Each of the individuals profiled in this volume is controversial. To a large extent this is a product of the fact that each of them exercised power and influence at critical times during the twentieth century. Most, if not all, readers will disagree with some, and perhaps all, of the contributions. We would be surprised if it were otherwise. However, one hopes that the present volume will provoke the reader to question his or her own views on its subject matter.
It is hoped that this book will attract the interest of not only the scholarly audience but also of the wider reading public. The specialist readers will recognise that this volume is but a first attempt at providing a different perspective of the historical events covered, and it is hoped that scholars will be inspired to follow with similar efforts. For the general reading public this book aims to provide a sound introduction to the major personalities that helped shape the contours of twentieth century Serb history. In order to provide the necessary background for the biographical essays we have included, as the first chapter, an overview and assessment of the course of the history of the Serbs during the twentieth century.
