Synopsis

Two days after Croatia and Slovenia's declarations of independence, war in Yugoslavia commenced. Witnesses testify that central to promoting the internecine conflict was Gojko Susak, Croatia's uncompromising Minister of Defence. The mastermind behind last August's Croat campaign in Krajina, he escalated hostilities by taking a personal part in the terror attacks on Serb villages that occurred before the war with Serbia had even started.
