...PERUCA HYDROELECTRIC DAM, NORTH OF THE Croatian city of Split, may not yet be doomed. But it is in serious trouble. Though the dam is located outside the areas designated for Croatia's rebellious Serbs by last year's peace plan, the Serbs had threatened to blow it up rather than hand it over to their Croatian rivals...

...revenge went into a kind of holding pattern for nearly 50 years. With the collapse of communism, all the terrible deeds committed during World War II (and World War I, for that matter) came streaming back, demanding vengeance. The Croats' alliance with Hitler, and the savage enthusiasm of the Croatian ultra- nationalist organization Ustashi in slaughtering Serbs from 1941 to 1945, created a vast accumulation of hatred and blood debts. A Serb will say, "Croats are a genocide people...

Dusko Zavisic, a young Serb photographer who has escaped from Sarajevo, told me that as a boy he was taken to visit the museum at the World War II Croatian concentration camp at Jasenovac. The pictures there of murdered Serbs were so horrifying he could not eat for two days afterward. In the latest war of Croats and Serbs, the Croats destroyed the museum. It was Dusko Zavisic who took the photographs of atrocities in Vukovar last November. He said that for days he was afraid to close his eyes because the afterimages of mutilated bodies and smashed heads would...

He joined the Croatian forces (he was wearing a black Ustashi T shirt) because he said he wanted an adventure that he could write a book about. The camp commander, Lieut. Colonel Bozidar Popovic, is a barking, strutting martinet who wields a Mini Maglite as if it were a swagger stick. His voice never drops from a shout. He bellows, "I am a humanist...

...grim prospect of such a partition between Croatian and Serbian regions grew with the outbreak of fierce fighting in several towns of central Bosnia. This time, instead of fighting Serbs, the government forces struggled with their erstwhile allies, the Croats. Aside from signaling the probable end to an uneasy but crucial alliance for the besieged Muslims, this latest fighting further threatened efforts to provide humanitarian aid to Bosnia. Vitez, 31 miles northwest of Sarajevo, was supposed to be the forward base for a British regiment scheduled for deployment next month to protect aid convoys; a reconnaissance group was pinned down...
