A project like no other. A mammoth feat of investigative journalism, this book tells the story of Slovenian independence you won't hear about in history textbooks. Help us bring this book to the attention of a global public. Written by Matej Surc, with contributions from world renowned names like Andrew Feinstein, Eva Joly, and Marcus Ferrar. What is it about? This complex work of investigative journalism tells the true story of Slovenia's independence in 1991, which was the first episode in Yugoslavia's terrible wars of the 1990s. It has been in the making for the past ten years and places the reader in the eye of the storm, amid ground-breaking events that shook the whole of Europe. It is based on tens of thousands of documents and graphic testimonies by over a hundred key witnesses. What else? Patriotism for Sale exposes a vast mafia network, the secret dealings of arms lobbyists and hushed-up multi-million euros deals made away from prying public eyes. It tells unpleasant truths about the young aspiring Slovenia that have been suppressed. It exposes outrageous facts about the rising star of the Balkans that you could not find out for yourself. Attempts at a cover up. The wrongdoers named in the book are keeping quiet, shifting the blame onto others, and denying all responsibility. These war-mongers are annoyed, and protest that Patriotism for Sale is harming Slovenia's image. As they include some of the country's most influential political figures, many Slovenian citizens fear to speak out against them. What is the purpose of this book? Vermin are to be found feasting on the fragrant petals of blossoming trees across Europe. That is why we wish to bring this ground-breaking work of investigative journalism beyond the small country of Slovenia. We wish to make the book accessible on the frozen steppes of Ukraine, the shores of suppressed Catalonia, lonely, grassy inlets of Scotland and the exploited summer islands of Greece.
