This is Serbia Calling
This is Serbia Calling: Rock'n'roll Radio and Belgrade's Underground Resistance | Matthew Collin
1 post | 4 to read
This is the story of a courageous group of young people living under Milosevic's repressive rule who waged a ten 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. 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, through 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.

Ordered this after reading Nick Hornby's review for the Believer in the Complete Polysyllabic Spree, very excited to read it!
