Illustrated by Vasko Lipovac
DO ANGELS CRY?
Tales of the War
Many books have been written about war, maybe just as many as love. <> takes a standpoint of a learned man who witnessed the war thatravaged  his country in the last decade of the 20th century. What does andwhat can an intellectual do in war? What can a 45-year-old man contribute to thedefence of his homeland? When, and if at all, should the country be put beforethe family?
In this witty, humorous, and above all affectionate collection of war stories,Maruaić catches the feelings from the periphery of war events  growingconcern for own family, patriotic emotions in conflict with everyday duties,short encounters with the warriors, battle stories heard, victories dreamtabout, and defeats mourned. The subtle amalgam of events, feelings, humor, andpatriotism depicts the 1991-1995 war in Croatia. Like war itself, this booklaughter and tears, fear and courage, tragedy and exultation, absurdity andreason. Hatred is the only feeling absent from the book: Maruaić fightsthe war with love only.
