What are the forces behind the Serbian expansionist drive that has brought death and destruction to Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo? How did the Serbs rationalize, and rally support for, this genocidal activity? Tracing Serbia's nationalist and expansionist impulses to the legendary Battle of Kosovo in 1389, this volume sets out to show how the myth of "Heavenly Serbia" developed to help the Serbs to endure foreign domination, explaining their military defeat and the loss of their medieval state by emphasizing their own moral superiority over military victory. The author describes how this myth resulted in an aggressive nationalist ideology which has triumphed in the late-20th century and marginalized those Serbs who strive for the establishment of a civil society.
