Description
Book SynopsisThis title is about an inspirational partisan leader, doctrinaire communist and yet a thorn in Moscow's side, and a leading light in the Non Aligned Movement. The break-up of Yugoslavia, the country Tito, the Croat turned Yugoslav had created was inevitable after his death in 1980.
Trade Review'Entertaining and timely ... Barnett makes good use of Tito's official memoirs and recorded recollections ... While allowing the regime to speak with its own voice, Barnett also points out the fabrications, where ideological lessons upstaged factual accuracy.' -- Neil MacDonald The Financial Times 'Neil Barnett's engaging and elegant biography is an invaluable resource for diplomats, aid workers and peacekeepers who want to understand better the enigmatic statesman who bequeathed so many vexing national and territorial questions.' -- John Phillips The Tablet
