He is a contributor to several documentaries on the subject of Yugoslav war crimes. His role in Croatia's liberation movement began in 1979 when he was recruited at the age of twenty-five. That recruitment led him on a long journey that began with anti-Yugoslav street demonstrations and ended with him becoming a Registered Foreign Agent for the Republic of Croatia during Croatia's Homeland War. During Croatia's War of Independence, he created the Pan National News Agency, served as a correspondent for the Croatian Information Center, WXYT Radio and Soldier of Fortune magazine. Ultimately, Palaich was indicted by the American government in 1996 and charged with smuggling weapons and night-vision equipment destined for Croatian forces during Croatia's Homeland War.
Palaich graduated Cum Laude from Wayne State University where he earned a BA degree in Political Science and Psychology.
He is a father to two grown children and a grandfather to two grandchildren. Palaich is retired and lives in Croatia and Arizona with his wife, Sandra. He actively serves in the Prison Ministry for the Catholic Diocese of Phoenix.view less
