Jože Pirjevec, „The Partisans and Politics“

This book explores the military events and diplomatic games in the later years of the Second World War through which Josip Broz Tito’s Yugoslav Partisans resistance movement gained the support of the Allies and, eventually, control over Yugoslavia itself. Based on research by the author in Yugoslav, German, British, American, Italian, and Russian archives and libraries, including the unpublished war memoirs of Josip Broz Tito, the volume follows Winston Churchill’s 1943 strategic decision to shift Allied support from Draža Mihailović’s Chetniks, who sought the restoration of Peter II to the Yugoslav throne, to Tito and his Communist Party.
