Sava River valley region and north-western Bosnia and gives a

1,773 victims and 48 testimonies are presented.
According to one of the book's consulting editors, Dragutin
Pavlicevic, the book does not only provide a documented description
and a list of Serb crimes against Croats and Muslims in northern
Bosnia but it also represents an inventory and anatomy of mass
crimes which were aimed at establishing an ethnically cleansed
western Serbia as part of Greater Serbia.
Another editor, Marko Babic, said the book was a proof of the moral
and political disorientation of some key political figures of the
international community at the end of the second millennium.
The book was published by the Alliance of Associations of Croat
Refugees and Returnees from North-Western Bosnia and Bosanska
Posavina Region, Mostar Research and Documentation Centre,
Homeland War Documentation Centre and the Croatian Information
Centre.
