Milosevic and Markovic: A Lust for Power, a very timely biography of the despotic duo, comes from Yugoslavian journalist Slavoljub Djukic (He, She, and Us); who for 12 years, since leaving the Serbian press, he has studied the "second-rate politician"-turned-potentate. Djukic follows Milosevic from his childhood and adolescence through his toeing-the-line early administrative career and immediate co-dependence with Mirjana Markovic, his ascendance up the Communist Party ladder, his dictatorship and a milestone of his fall, October 7, 2000 (the 1999 Serbian edition has been updated for the English). Peppered with damning testimonies of both, this impassioned, well-wrought portrait deftly evinces Yugoslav outrage and bereavement. Trans. by Alex Dubinsky. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
