This is the story of a courageous group of young people living under Milosevic's repressive rule who waged a 10-year battle for freedom, armed only with a radio transmitter, some rock'n'roll records, and a dream of truth, justice and another kind of life. It's a book about a group of idealists who start out wanting to play good music over the airwaves but have to negotiate two wars, economic sanctions, violent police and government crackdowns, armed gangsters and neo-Nazi politicians. They called themselves Serbia's 'lost generation'; the government called them traitors, spies and terrorists. Despite police raids and state censorship, they refused to be defeated, and kept on broadcasting their message.This is Serbia Calling chronicles a decade (1990-2000) in which B92, an extraordinary radio station, though its use of rock music, email and the internet, kept alive the voices of dissent. The book ends with the fall of Milosevic and B92 going back on air.
