If you've never read Irishman Hubert Butler, he wrote some very interesting work on Yugoslavia. He was a translator there before WWII and wrote about the Ustase escaping afterward. "The Stepinac File", "The Sub-prefect Should Have Held His Tongue" 1956, and "The Artukovich file" 1970 are all interesting pieces (two you can read online).

The Sub-prefect is largely about how Butler got hounded for his writings on Stepinac and the Ustase.

In the Artukovich file, Butler traces war criminal Artukovich's stay in Ireland before he got to the US -- who supported him and housed he and his family while Artukovich hid out, before coming to the US.

Butler paid a heavy price for outing the Roman Catholic link to the Ustase -- as he says, it would have destroyed a man with less means.
