Published by the Croatian Academy of America, the 175-page volume of the Journal features the following articles: "Odessa in 1917 From a Croatian Perspective," by George Grglica, presents a discussion of the recruitment of Croatian volunteers by the Yugoslav Committee during WWI for the Yugoslav Legion. Among other things, it focuses on the treatment of Croatian POWs in Odessa, Russia by Serbian army officers. "The Croatian Nation During World War II, 1941-1945," by Jere Jareb discusses the role of the Ustashe, the Croatian Peasant Party and the Communist Party in Croatia during WWII.
