Yugoslavia's break-up in 1991 and the wars that followed in its wake have been widely blamed on Serbian nationalism. Most analyses, however, have not examined this nationalism in the years before Slobodan Milosevi 's rise to power, when its principal articulators were opposition intellectuals. Saviours of the Nation is the first book to trace the trajectory of Serbia's dissidence from its origins in the 1950s to its consolidation in the early 1980s around the defence of civil and human rights.
