Magnum Crimen is a book first published in Zagreb in 1948, describing clericalism in Croatia from 1900 until the end of the Second World War. The book was commissioned to aid in Tito's post war show trials.
The book, whose full title is Magnum crimen - pola vijeka klerikalizma u Hrvatskoj (The Great Crime - a half-century of clericalism in Croatia), was written by a Catholic priest and professor at Belgrade University, Dr. Viktor Novak. Novak started work on the book long before World War II, but his central focus in it is the role and activities of the Church during the period of the Independent State of Croatia. The book has been criticized for exaggerating the atrocities that occurred at Jasenovac concentration camp in an attempt to slander the Catholic Church.
The book was first published in 1948, with a second edition published in 1986.
