Even after he lost a rigged election to Milosevic and was forced out of the country, he continued to crusade for democracy for the region's people. His is an epic tale of a man who found personal success, but continued to battle against tyranny and injustice on behalf of the less privileged.Panic, Milan is the author of 'Bitter Glory The Life and Times of Milan Panic' with ISBN 9780060394431 and ISBN 0060394439.
