Published in 1982, Nož appeared at a time when any serious discussion of inter-ethnic violence during World War II was largely taboo. Drašković, then a journalist, broke this silence with a narrative that was both unflinching and myth-breaking. The communist authorities, fearing it would incite nationalist passions, swiftly banned the novel. The official explanation for its condemnation was that it spread "national and religious hatred" and undermined the foundational principles of the country.
