Description Ivan Dolinar is born in Tito\'s Yugoslavia on April Fool\'s Day, 1948 -- the auspicious beginning of a life that will be derailed by backfiring good intentions in a world of propaganda and paranoia.
Told with bitingly dark humor and a deep tenderness, April Fool\'s Day is both a devastating political satire and a razor-sharp parody of war..
But even in a world gone mad, one course of action remains eminently sane: survival.
Released on the eve of civil war, Ivan is drafted into the wrong army, becoming a pawn in an absurd conflict in which the rules and loyalties shift abruptly and without warning.
At age nineteen, an innocent prank cuts the young Croatian\'s budding medical career short and lands him in a notorious labor camp.
