This is the second of six separate films that combine to form a definitive history of the break up of Yugoslavia. Part two covers the period of political maneuvering following Slovenia's successful bid for independence, beginning by interviewing Head of Yugoslav Intelligence General Vasiljević about an alleged secret meeting between Croatian Defense Minister Martin Špegelj and Hungarian arms dealers. The documentary details the high tensions between Serb and Croat officials as Croatia strives for independence, featuring a play-by-play account of how Slobodan Milošević, President of Serbia, Borisav Jović, Serbian delegate to the Yugoslav State Council, and other Serbian military and government officials orchestrated a plan to prevent Croatia from seceding from the Yugoslav Federation. Vasil Tupurkovski, Macedonian delegate to the Yugoslav State Council, is interviewed extensively, describing how Milošević and Jović devised a plan to gain control over the JNA. Actual sessions of the Yugoslav State Council meetings show Council delegates splitting as a showdown between Stipe Mesić, Croatian delegate to the Yugoslav State Council, and Jović develops. As Croatia struggles to gain independence on a federal level, the Serbian minority in the Krajina region begins to revolt under the leadership of Milan Babić, Mayor of Knin, and Milan Martić, Police Chief in Knin. The underlying power struggle between Franjo Tuđman, President of Croatia, and Slobodan Milošević is described, including footage of their meeting. Part two ends with the beginning of an all-out war in Vukovar, showing footage of refugees and the destruction. Other key politicians and military figures interviewed include Petar Gračanin, Žarko Jokanović, Slavko Degoricija, Warren Zimmerman, Perica Jurić, and JNA Generals Života Panić, Branko Mamula, Veljko Kadijević, Blagoje Adžić, and Andrija Rašeta.
