However, some reviewers have pointed out that the book is not very reliable as a source of historical information, as BulatoviÄ has distorted or omitted some details to suit his agenda. For example, he has downplayed his responsibility for the wars and atrocities committed by the Yugoslav army and paramilitary forces, and he has portrayed himself as a victim of MiloÅeviÄ's manipulation and betrayal. He has also accused some of his former allies and opponents of corruption, treason and war crimes, without providing much evidence or context.
