The article states that in his 1989 book ''Horrors of War'', Tudjman estimated that the total number of victims in Jasenovac was somewhere "between 30,000 and 60,000". This is attributed to James J.

Lead section

Why does the lead section contain a ICTY verdict, as if that is the thing he will be remebered in history? Furthermore, it is written in some kind of broken English. Why does it not instead emphasise the importance of this individual in Croatia's independence, and in leading his nation through war?
