Tearful, trembling, and moaning declarations of Ante "Vlah" Starcevic's secular martyrdom and sainthood are primarily a 20th-century phenomenon.Greatest Croat, Greatest Croat Thinker, Croatia's Aristotle, Father of the Fatherland, Hitler before Hitler, and other glorious titles place Starcevic alone at the top of Croatia's national pantheon.CROATIA 5 book attempts to reconcile Starcevic's martyrdom and sainthood with highly credible 19th-century Croat sources that tell a different story.More Croat contemporaries than not, including patrons, friends, associates, and followers, consider Starcevic an eccentric, repulsive, evil, divisive, destructive, and dangerous illiterate creep.CROATIA 5 also presents solid evidence that 1) Starcevic is less a Croat patriot and more a willing and compliant agent of Hungary's policies as scripted by Ban Levin Roach, and 2) teammate Eugen Quadroni Kvaternik is a looney-tubes political scoundrel of the lowest order.PurposeThis book does not pretend to be anything other than it is: an altogether preliminary attempt to identify the basic ethnic, genetic, educational, social, political, psychological, lifestyle, and situational factors that influence and shape Ante Vlah Starcevic's fundamental social and political ideas.
