Glavaš – kronika jedne destrukcije
In Glavaš – Chronicle of a Destruction, Drago Hedl reveals the rise and fall of Branimir Glavaš, through a story of power, crime, and moral decline in post-war Slavonia. The documentary research turns into a poignant chronicle of our society.
The book Glavaš – Chronicle of a Destruction by investigative journalist Drago Hedl is based on his many years of journalistic writing and testimonies about one of the most controversial figures in recent Croatian history – Branimir Glavaš. Hedl reconstructs the path from war hero to war crimes defendant, tracing how the ideal of patriotism turned into abuse of power, violence and political destruction.
Through documents, interviews and personal testimonies, the author depicts the atmosphere of Osijek and Slavonia in the 1990s, where war heroism gradually turned into crime, corruption and fear. Hedl’s story goes beyond biography – it is a sharp criticism of a society that suppresses the truth and allows moral systems to collapse under the weight of politics and nationalism.
In a style that combines the precision of a journalist and the sensibility of a storyteller, Hedl builds a tense chronicle about a man, a city and a country in transition. Glavaš – a chronicle of destruction becomes a testimony to the danger when personal power and political protection overcome law, responsibility and truth.
