The book itself is primarily for the tourist market and is easily available in several languages. This quote is on page 137 and it’s referring to the ''Republic of Ragusa''. The old Republic of '''Ragusa''' (Dubrovnik) is now within the borders of the modern Croatia. This monolithic description is an outright lie and it’s a form of culture genocide.  Additionally the book did not even mention Ragusa the name at all, which was used for more than a millennium.The peoples of Ragusa were a nation in their own right; the Republic was also made up of many ethnic nationalities. The Republic was a Maritime nation that traded all over the Mediterranean and even had trade with the Americas. Additionally it was in competition with Venice itself.

Concerning the former Yugoslavia (which [[Croatia|Croatian]] was part of) the Cold War era played a major role in this style of historical documentation of the region’s history. Yugoslav Communist history is now dogma in Croatia. Many of today’s Croatians live with this dogma as their reality even though the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. The Communist Party of Yugoslavia had a profound effect on the region. So much so that it’s created today’s political and cultural scene.
